Just outside Nantes, past the imposing Cheviré bridge, Bécassine has a spot right on the banks of the Loire. Its professional, efficient team offers a contemporary, well-executed bistro menu in a spacious dining room. A large terrace (which can be covered) juts out over the water. Expect to find both a regular worker crowd and cyclists taking a break from the Loire by Bike route.
