Gigantic metal hall where ships were assembled at the time of the shipyards, now converted into a cultural space. This notably houses the Stereolux performance hall and the famous Galerie des Machines. Many events are organized there, such as the Printemps des Naves or the Indian Summer.
The Naves also serve as a "parking lot" for the famous Elephant of Nantes.
