Le Temps d'Aimer

About this place Le Temps d'Aimer

Le Temps d'Aimer is the cornerstone of the Nantes gay scene, tucked into Rue Kervégan in the Bouffay quarter — the city's most animated historic neighbourhood, full of bars and restaurants in medieval half-timbered buildings. The bar has been a community institution for over twenty years, built on a philosophy of genuine welcome and no attitude. The interior is warm and intimate, with a good drinks list at reasonable prices; a terrace spills onto the pedestrian street in summer. The regular clientele is loyal and local, but the bar is very much open to newcomers. It serves as an informal information point for the Nantes gay scene, and the staff can direct visitors to everything happening in the city.
