At the crossroads of a site with a thousand-year-old history and a territorial geography structured by the Loire River, the former Nantes University Hospital is preparing to enter a new phase of its history. The development of a nurturing park in the city centre raises the question of the future food model, at a time when crises are no longer a topic to be discussed. Designed with the abundant practices in the Nantes metropolitan area and the heritage of the Hôtel Dieu, the park offers two new horizons: to the site, by opening it to the city and the Loire, and to the inhabitants of the metropolitan area, who are looking for healthier, more responsible nutrition.
