The office of the Attribution became Hotel-Bar-Restaurant
The Hotel-Bar le Longchamp, with its 26 rooms and its bar-restaurant has become an essential place of the life of the neighborhood since the 70s. The presence of the Grant at this level of the Vannes road explains, among other things, the presence of balls, bars and other places of consumption upstream of the grant. Indeed, the spirits served there were sold to customers at lower prices because they were not subject to the city’s head tax. The grant functioned until October 1943, in full occupation, the president of the Special Delegation proposed the abolition of the Grant, «institution of another age definitively outdated». The suppression was fixed for January 1, 1944. Thus disappeared, with the others, the barrier – and therefore the Bureau – of the road to Vannes. The former Vannes Road Granting Office has become a hotel bar whose name – which is a first name – recalls that of a very illustrious Austrian composer. What is that name? The Hotel-Bar le Longchamp, with its 26 rooms and its bar-restaurant has become an essential place of the life of the neighborhood since the 70s. Economic rooms for workers and VRP, a bar that acts as a social lung of the neighborhood. A meeting place between passing people and locals! It remains under the same appearance since the 1970s. Place at the crossroads: Facing the Longchamp tram, in the heart of a changing Sainte-Thérèse/ Longchamp district, in front of the Breil-Malville district, mirror of a young and popular city, on the Route de Vannes, historical commercial axis, entered the city of Nantes. An angle, a corner, a "hub" of all these neighborhoods. In 2021, the hotel-bar Le Longchamp will become Le Lieu Dit.The place-said will be a popular destination, festive and bon-vivant. At the same time hotel, pizza, bar, grocery store and playground, the place will have as ambition to be part of this tradition of corner that marks the entrance to the city, the meeting of several parts of Nantes, the meeting between those who only pass through and those who animate the neighborhood daily.
