Nantes is only a couple of hours drive from La Rochelle and is Cardiff's twin city.
We stayed on the municpal site and it was really good, shops, restaurant and pool. and the tram stop just outside the main gates.
Nantes has its own walking tour with easy to follow lines on the pavements and a guide book from the Office de Tourism.
Nantes is home to the Dukes of Brittany and this was their chareau.
This was once the local biscuit factory.
They created a "jungle" in between some houses and with the walls giving good protection it has its own micro climate.
The Loire looking muddy.
Les machines de L'ile.
Well worth a visit no matter how old you are.
Its housed in the old railway sheds and this is the new area its moving to.
How very cool....I would def enjoy seeing that Museum. Also the micro climates creates that wonderful green space between the buildings is very nice to see.
ReplyDeleteYes I'm pleased we went there Sondra. Its a city that caters well for tourists and has lots to offer. Its Cardiff's twin city and Cardiff could learn a lot form it.
DeleteA brilliant find! Love the elephant and with a jungle nearby also.
ReplyDeleteGreat machines, never seen anything like that, brilliant.
Its was good fun Mr A. for children of all ages!!
DeleteGreat machines . They remind me of the Giant Cornish Miner that I saw in Tavistock a year or two ago...
ReplyDeleteThey are so mechanically complex Trevor and the gearing together with the settings/timings to get the coordination right is amazing.
