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.

Les anneaux de Daniel Buren et Patrick Bouchain.
Ces anneaux se trouvent sur le quai des Antilles prés des hangars à bananes (lieu incontournable de sortie, des Nantais). Une vingtaine d’anneaux sont disposé sur le bord des quais et font partie du paysage Nantais. Ces anneaux intelligemment disposés permettent d’avoir des visions originales sur la Loire et la ville. Le plus surprenant c’est la vision d’un bout de l’ensemble et la vous apercevez seulement un unique anneau avec dans le fond Nantes ou Trentmoult. L’ensemble est éclaire la nuit.
