Quatrième de couverture

Nantes

Nantes - a town praised by the people of France for the quality of life and its charm. Born at the junction of the Loire and the Erdre, the meeting of the river and ocean, Nantes grew from its love of water. Was it the strong sea scent that caused local writer Jules Verne to dream of far-flung places... ? Because Nantes, a city of numerous talents and dreams, has always captured the imagination. From the memories of the middle ages in the narrow lanes of La Bouffay to the idle beauty of Feydeau Island. Today, a visitor can vainly seek for the Loire, filled in between the wars, which linked the historical hearts of the city. Today the harmony of the city is elsewhere, from the uninterrupted flow of its tram, to the stunning array of its gardens, to the life of it squares and markets. The city does not cease beating to the rhythm of the festivals when they end - it continues all year around, Nantes, a city moving forward, looking towards the horizon.
