Weekend in Nantes Feb. 4, 2022

Three weeks after arriving, we hopped on a train and headed west to the city of Nantes for the weekend. It was about a 2 1/2 hour ride in a very comfy seat - we booked first class for Lucca’s sake ;)

Nantes was a bigger city than I realized. It’s a university city surrounded by the Loire river. We spent Saturday at the Jardin des Plantes - a beautiful park with fun sculpture.

We also walked around the Chateau des ducs de Bretagne - a gorgeous 13th century chateau right smack in the middle of the city.

We always eat well and make friends along the way.
