Graslin is easily recognizable from almost anywhere in the city, thanks to the 85-meter (280-foot) tall white spire of the Basilique Saint-Nicolas, a neo-Gothic church built in 1854. Graslin Square and its theatre are named after Jean Joseph Louis Graslin, a significant public figure in the late 18th century who expanded Nantes’ city center and constructed the theatre.
