Les abeilles ont bien travaillé et livrent de multiples produits tous bons pour la santé : miels divers, gelée royale, pollen et, moins connu, le propolis (un antiseptique naturel fabriqué à partir des écailles de bourgeons). Famille Mary propose donc des produits alimentaires (bonbons, pain d'épices) et des médicaments naturels. Le propolis est par exemple utilisé pour des dentifrices originaux.

I wanted to try the main plates but I wasn't hungry. All the ingredients are Bio and fresh. They just serve lunch, but the coffee, beer and wine, and grocery are available until night and late on the weekends. I will definitely be back! The service is excellent. They are very friendly and attentive. There are hardly any places to get coffee on the Ile de Nantes, but this place is perfect. It is the only place I have found with a strong wifi connection, great coffee and a cool ambience. The decor is so charming and inviting. There is a bar area and I another upstairs spot for eating or drinking coffee and using your laptop/ reading. There is a small outside patio seating too. The location is right in the heart of the Ile de Nantes, just a few steps from the Loire and the bridge connecting to downtown Nantes. I have been looking all over Nantes for a place like this. I'll be back!
