Visit the Lu Tower in Nantes

Established in Nantes in 1895, the LU biscuit factory (for Lefèvre-Utile) is the creator of the famous Petit Beurre biscuit.

The Art-Nouveau-style LU Tower that you can visit was added to the original building in 1909. The factory is now a space for artistic exploration: the Lieu Unique.
