The City of Nantes provides 23 communal barbecues in 14 parks and green spaces throughout the city. The goal? To offer everyone the chance to enjoy a friendly, outdoor moment around a controlled fire.
Barbecues in Every Corner of the City
Whether you're on the Île de Nantes, in Doulon-Bottière, or up in Nantes North, there’s definitely a communal barbecue not too far from you! Some spots are particularly popular for their lovely setting, such as:
*La Beaujoire: by the riverside, perfect for a tasty break after a stroll along the Erdre
*Beaulieu Park: at the tip of Île de Nantes, offering breathtaking views and large green spaces
*La Jonelière: tucked away between two boulevards, a great place to settle in for a few hours.
And let’s not forget neighborhood spots like Jamet Park, Coulée du Gesvres, or La Roche Park in Malakoff, all of which host one or more freely accessible barbecues.
The Rules of a Great Community Barbecue
These facilities are open for everyone to use, but they come with a few guidelines to follow so that everyone can enjoy them:
*Use only the designated barbecues
*Share the space: first come, first served
*Keep the area clean (nobody likes grilling sausages in cold ashes and empty cans)
*No fires on the ground
*Be cautious with dry grass and wind, especially in the summer
*And of course, no barbecuing during a red heatwave or drought warning
A Summer of Grilling
With these free facilities, Nantes is encouraging shared moments of relaxation while ensuring the safety of its natural spaces. So bring out the skewers, marinated veggies, and chips—the barbecues in Nantes are waiting for you for a summer filled with friendliness and the delightful scent of charcoal !
