The Bas-Chantenay gay club
The CO2 Club Origin, known as ‘the CO2’ to regulars in Nantes, is a gay club located at 3 Rue de la Cale Crucy, in the Bas-Chantenay neighbourhood of Nantes. Situated near the banks of the Loire, this nightclub hosts events on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 11.45 pm to 7 am. Entry is restricted to adults only.
The interior comprises two rooms with very distinct atmospheres. According to published reviews, the main room pulsates to the beat of techno, hard techno and trance, powered by a powerful sound system. The smaller room offers a more intimate atmosphere, focusing on house, groove, minimal and drum and bass. Between sets, the covered terrace serves as a great spot to chat and take a breather in peace.
Music and party events
The club also hosts nights featuring guest collectives. According to published reviews, Saturdays attract the most diverse queer crowd, with a very open-minded audience. Fridays tend to draw purist techno fans, whilst Thursdays bring together a crowd made up mainly of students and locals.
Good to know
According to reviews, it’s best to arrive around 12.15 am or 12.30 am to avoid the biggest queues at the entrance. The party really gets going from 2 am onwards. Make sure you wear light clothing and comfortable shoes, as the temperature rises quickly inside the venues.
