BUREN RINGS
These plastic rings, designed by the famous French artist Daniel Buren, are part of Nantes' cultural heritage.
Along the banks of the Loire, 18 rings line the Quai des Antilles. Since their installation in 2007, they have marked the cultural identity of Nantes. Designed by French visual artist Daniel Buren, with the help of Patrick Bouchain, they testify to the union between the city and its river. At night, these large 4-meter-diameter steel rings light up in red, green and blue. The rings also echo the city's history, recalling the slave rings of the triangular trade, of which Nantes was the hub in the 18th century.
