In memory of Nantes, we had not seen such collective hysteria since the last victory of the Blues at the 2018 World Cup. And again, some will surely say.
Since the final whistle synonymous with victory for FC Nantes in the Coupe de France against OGC Nice, the scenes of spectacular jubilation have multiplied in the city center this Saturday evening.
The trophy had not yet been lifted at the Stade de France by the Canary players when the crowd had already invaded the main places in Nantes.
Smoke bombs are everywhere, including in unlikely (and dangerous) places… pic.twitter.com/SxpkAaJF4n

Dozens of people climbed the levels of the Place Royale fountain to sing at the top.
The square, now difficult to access given the crowds, was ablaze with red several times after the lighting of many smoke bombs.
Some fans, even more excited than average, climbed scaffolding, others balconies.
Sometimes dangerous behavior
Everywhere the fireworks and car horns resound.
It must be said that on the roads serving the city center, vehicles are stationary, traffic is paralyzed by joyful groups.
Even more dangerous, some car drivers take the opportunity to make the engines roar in the midst of a hilarious audience.
The night could be long and restless.
The return drive is going to be difficult for some #Nantes #FCNOGCN pic.twitter.com/qZn8ADIFeQ
