Arcade tips for Nantes

A few things worth knowing before you work through Nantes's arcades:

• Check the retro corner at Quiz Room. The old cabinets in the back are often the best-maintained — they're somebody's pride and joy.
• Save your high-score photo at Miky Parc - Laser 23. Take the photo. High scores are ephemeral and the bragging rights are forever.
• Watch the regulars first. The high-score table tells you which machines are hot and who's worth watching. Fifteen minutes of watching teaches plenty.
• Weekday mornings are empty. If you want a machine to yourself for practice, weekday mornings are dead quiet.

Good to know

The map is the source of truth here — one OpenStreetMap edit corrects it for everyone.

We don't list machine lineups — they change too often. What we list is the where: real venues, verified by real mappers.

If you run one of the 8 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
