Weekend getaway to the amazing town of Nantes, France!

Nantes is a vibrant and hospitable city with a moderate population. The attractions are close to each other, making it a great place to visit. It is recommended to visit when the weather is nice, as it is relaxing and perfect for taking photos! 🚗Transportation: Depart from Paris at 9:30 am and arrive in Nantes at 10:00 am. Note that public transportation in Nantes is free on weekends. Take the bus at 8:00 pm and return to Paris by 10:30 pm. 📷Attractions: 1. Château des Ducs de Bretagne: Only a 9-minute walk from Nantes Station. The exterior of the castle is beautiful, and tickets are required for entry. 2. Nantes Cathedral: Located near the castle, but still under renovation, so you can only take photos from the outside. 3. Musée d'Arts de Nantes: The museum has a rich collection of works from the 17th to 20th centuries, including works by Picasso and Monet. The visit takes about 2 hours, and the environment is quiet. 4. Jardin des Plantes: Less than 500 meters from the museum, free admission. The greenery is great, and the photos are beautiful on sunny days, perfect for a stroll and relaxation. 5. Passage Pommeraye: Similar to a shopping street, there are many specialty shops and big-name stores along the way, such as Rolex, Cartier, etc. 6. Les Machines de l'île: A must-see in Nantes. The ticketing strategy is a bit complicated, with two exhibition halls costing €8.7 per person. The first hall has a variety of mechanical facilities, and the guide will select lucky visitors to experience them. The mechanical elephant is a highlight, and the carousel requires an additional ticket, but you can just watch it from a distance. ❤️Tips 1. Language: French is the main language, and some attractions and shops offer English services, but it is more convenient to know some simple French phrases, such as asking for directions or ordering food. 2. Weather: Check the weather forecast before traveling. 3. Tickets: Some attractions, such as Les Machines de l'île, have complicated ticketing methods. You can check online or consult the local tourist center in advance to avoid delays in your itinerary.
