Why yes that is a roof with an egg broken on it. Why is it like that? And how come I am so far above it? The answer to both of those questions can be found at the Nid.
The Nid (the nest) is a bar perched on top of the 34th floor of the Tour Bretagne. In the summer of 2012, an art festival called "A Journey to Nantes" commissioned this bar as a piece of art. The Nantais who designed it thought that it should captivate what Nantes is. I don't know if he hit his mark but I though it was cool.
All of the chairs and tables in the place are shaped like eggs. And the center piece, which had people all over it, is a big long bird's neck and head that acts as a couch. You enter into the nest of a large duck when you go to this bar, and I thought it was really cool.
The other cool thing, and the main reason I went it for the view. The Tour Bretagne is one of the tallest buildings in Nantes, and thus one can see all of Nantes from the Nid.
And, as is the point of a bar, it had drinks. This is the Nid, a combination of secret drinks that pretty much resembles a mimosa.
Eggs! Still not sure why one if the buildings below the Nid has an egg cracked on it. Is it a subsidiary of the Nid? Also, do you actually know what a mimosa tastes like?
