Thursday took us to Nantes, the home town of Jules Verne, who, along with Da Vinci, inspired the development of the incredible constructions you will see below. Then there was time for some shopping in the cobbled streets of the pedestrian district, followed by a visit to the castle with its impressive moat and draw bridge, as well as the stunning cathedral. There was barely time to get home and frock up before our fully staunch farewell party that night where families brought delicious French food to share, the band played an awesome bilingual repertoire and we danced all night.
