La Cigale is a
brasserie located in
Nantes ,
Loire-Atlantique ,
France , on the same city square as the
Théâtre Graslin . The locale has been classified as a
historic monument since 1964.
The restaurant was designed by the architect /ceramicist Émile Libaudière in the exaggerated Art Nouveau style of the era. On 1 April 1895, the brasserie was opened for business by its first owner, Mrs. Calado.
From the beginning the restaurant attracted a bourgeois clientele that mixed with artists from the nearby theater. The
surrealists Jacques Prévert and
André Breton were regular patrons. Scenes from several films have been shot there, including
Jacques Demy ‘s 1961 film
Lola ,
Debout les crabes, la mer monte! by Jean-Jacques Grand-Jouan (1983), and
Jacquot de Nantes by
Agnès Varda (1991).
In 1964, the brasserie was turned into a fast-food restaurant, but the decor remained unchanged due to the protections afforded by its status as a historical monument. During the 1970s the restaurant was neglected and eventually abandoned, until a new owner turned it back into a brasserie in 1982.
