Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Language and greetings
French is the main language in Nantes. Start interactions with a polite 'Bonjour' and use 'Merci' when leaving. English is common in the offshore wind business, but not universal, so ask before switching languages and keep key meeting points in simple written form.
Business etiquette
A firm handshake and direct but polite tone are standard in French business settings. Arrive on time, bring business cards if useful, and keep initial meetings structured around a clear technical or commercial question.
Meals and scheduling
Lunch is often taken between 12:00 and 14:00, while dinner usually starts later than in northern Europe. Some restaurants close between service periods, so confirm times if you are hosting customer dinners around the forum programme.
Tipping and payments
Service is generally included in French restaurant bills, so tipping is optional and often left as a small rounding-up or a few euros for good service. Cards are widely accepted, but carry a little cash for small purchases.
Tram and public-space etiquette
Validate your ticket before boarding and keep noise low on trams and buses. Priority seats are respected, and it is normal to greet staff when entering shops, hotels or restaurants.
March weather and dress
Early spring in Nantes can be cool, windy and showery. Business casual with a rain jacket, comfortable shoes and layers works well for walking between tram stops, hotels and the venue.

Glossary
- Offshore wind
- Electricity generation from wind turbines installed at sea, either on fixed foundations in shallower water or on floating platforms in deeper water.
- Fixed-bottom foundation
- A seabed-mounted support structure such as a monopile, jacket or gravity-base foundation used for offshore wind turbines in suitable water depths.
- Floating offshore wind
- Offshore wind systems where turbines sit on floating platforms moored to the seabed, allowing development in deeper waters and areas with challenging seabed conditions.
- Monopile
- A large steel pile driven or drilled into the seabed to support an offshore wind turbine, commonly used in shallow to medium-depth sites.
- Jacket foundation
- A lattice steel structure with multiple legs that supports an offshore wind turbine or substation, often used in deeper or more complex seabed conditions.
- Offshore substation
- A platform at sea that collects power from wind turbines, transforms voltage and prepares electricity for export to shore.
- Export cable
- The high-voltage cable that carries electricity from an offshore wind farm or marine energy array to the onshore grid connection.
- Array cable
- Subsea cables that connect individual turbines or marine energy devices within a project to the offshore substation or export system.
- Dynamic cable
- A cable designed to move with a floating platform, used in floating offshore wind and some marine energy systems where the connection is not fixed to the seabed.
- Mooring system
- The anchors, chains, ropes and connectors that hold a floating offshore wind platform or marine energy device in position at sea.
- Operations and maintenance (O&M)
- The ongoing inspection, servicing, repair and logistics work needed to keep offshore wind and marine energy assets operating safely and efficiently.
- Power purchase agreement (PPA)
- A long-term contract under which a buyer purchases electricity from a renewable energy project at agreed terms.
- Contract for Difference (CfD)
- A support mechanism that stabilises revenue for renewable generators by paying the difference between a reference market price and an agreed strike price.
- Tidal stream energy
- Electricity generation from underwater turbines or other devices driven by tidal currents.
- Wave energy
- Electricity generation from devices that capture energy from ocean waves through mechanical, hydraulic or pneumatic systems.
- Power take-off (PTO)
- The subsystem in a marine energy converter that transforms captured wave or tidal motion into usable electrical or hydraulic power.
- Port marshalling
- The use of port quays, storage areas and heavy-lift equipment to assemble, stage and load offshore wind components before installation at sea.
- Installation vessel
- A specialised ship or barge used to transport and install offshore wind foundations, turbines, cables or marine energy devices.
