France Tour 2016 - Vannes

Thursday 1st December 2016

Nantes

The France Tour girls had a very cold start waiting on the platform for a day trip to Nantes.


Nantes is a city on the Loire River in the Pays de la Loire region of western France with a long history as a port and centre of industry.  Nantes is home of the restored, medieval Chateau des Ducs de Bretagne where the Dukes of Brittany once lived.

The memorial above comes from the city of Nantes coming to terms with its past and working forward to ensure equality for all.  Between the 18th & 19th centuries, numerous European ports including Nantes were involved with the slave trade.
