Dorcel Store

A store from the Dorcel chain

Dorcel Store Nantes has set up on avenue des Lions, in Saint-Herblain, right at the gates of the Nantes metro area. The store carries the name of a brand that's been around since 1979 in the world of adult pleasure, and that shows in the selection on the shelves.

You'll find sex toys, lingerie, wellness products and intimate games here, aimed more at the high end than the run of the mill. The clientele mixes couples and singles, men and women, some coming for advice, others heading out with a specific product already in mind.

Welcome and advice

The shop highlights its female staff, trained to guide customers without judgment or awkwardness. The feedback circulating about the store points precisely to a welcoming, discreet atmosphere, with a solid reputation for quality advice and product selection.

This matters especially for people walking through the door of a sex shop for the first time, or couples who come to choose together without feeling watched.

Discretion and practical services

As in the chain's other shops, purchases leave in plain packaging, with no mention of the contents on the outside. The store also offers click and collect, handy for booking online and simply swinging by to pick up your order.

For orders placed on the website, shipping is free from 65 euros of purchase, which also lets you round out an in-store pick with an item spotted online.

Hours and access

Dorcel Store Nantes is open Monday to Saturday, from 11am to 7pm. Some Mondays and Wednesdays, the shop stays closed, so it's best to call ahead before heading over on one of those days to make sure you'll find the door open.

The address, at 10 avenue des Lions in Saint-Herblain, stays easy to reach whether you're coming from Nantes or the neighboring towns in the metro area.
