If you ask the question in Nantes: what is happening this Saturday evening at 9 p.m.? There is a good chance that we will answer you: the final of the Coupe de France! The city has provided two giant screens to follow the meeting.
Apart from those who will not want to miss the night parade of the Carnival of Cholet which will start at 9 p.m. from the place de la gare this Saturday, May 7, (and it’s to be seen!) many in Pays de la Loire have reserved this evening for an equally colorful but sportier event: the final of the French Cup.
It will oppose for this 2022 edition, FC Nantes to OGC Nice.
An evening that could be historic since the last time the Canaries won this cup was in 2000, so 22 years ago. No doubt numerology fans will find a link between 2000, 2022 and 44 to tell us that victory is announced for the yellow and green.
In the meantime, many of you will be in front of your screens this Saturday evening and if it’s not at your house or at a friend’s, it will be in a bar or in front of one of the two giant screens that the city of Nantes has planned to set up in town to welcome FCNA fans.
Both will be in the same place but at different points.
Two screens are planned at each end of the Cours Saint-Pierre and Cours Saint-André, near the cathedral.

Entry to these fan-zones will be from 6 p.m. on three possible points. The Metropolis specifies that: “alcohol, dangerous objects, glass objects, hard plastic or stainless steel water bottles, bulky bags, animals, bicycles are strictly prohibited on the site.”
To accompany this sporting event, the city has also planned to adorn itself in the colors of its team. Thus, the castle of the Dukes of Brittany and the water mirror will be in yellow and green.
Interviewed in the JT of France 3 Pays de la Loire this Friday noon, Ali Rebouh, deputy mayor of Nantes in charge of sports, mentioned the possibility of a Cours Saint-Pierre and Saint-André party this Sunday at the end of afternoon in the event of a victory for Nantes. The elected official specifies that the city will communicate on this subject after the final whistle on Saturday evening.
