La Civelle reopens in Trentemoult after months of rebuilding

La Civelle, a well-known restaurant on the Trentemoult quay, reopened on Thursday 2 May 2019. Its first-floor kitchen had burned down on the night of 16–17 November 2018. After five months of work involving twelve trades, everything was refreshed: the façade was repainted white, the mural of a boat carrying glass eels across the Loire was redone identically by Nantes artist Élodie Lechevallier, and the large upstairs room, the former dance hall, now opens onto the kitchen through a glass roof. The menu still centres on Loire and Atlantic fish delivered by a Rezé fish merchant. The reopening came with three concerts, from Thursday to Saturday.
