An amusement park created with a sci-fi worldview has ordinary amusement facilities, but the mechanical animals are worth seeing. It is probably better to treat it as a small museum than to treat it as an amusement park. In particular, the iconic giant elephant is 12 meters tall and 21 meters long. The overall structure is made of steel. The lubricating oil used on the body to maintain the mechanical operation is 2,000 liters. The thick skin of the outer shell is made of American Tulipwood usually lives in a ship-shaped steel building on Central Street. When it strode out, the shock brought by this behemoth was unmatched.Nantes · 1.6 km from downtown

The Botanical Garden is located south of Gare SNCF sortie Nord?, and is home to thousands of trees and plants. Some of these trees are centuries old, with trunks so thick they require several people to wrap their arms around. Botanical Garden was built in the early 19th century. In addition to flower beds, ponds, fountains, and towering trees, it features greenhouses and play areas for children, making it a favorite leisure spot for the people of Nantes. While not large, the garden is beautifully laid out and is considered by the landscaping industry as a model for small botanical garden design.Nantes · 842m from downtown

Located in the center of Nantes, Passage Pommeraye connects Rue de Santeuil and Rue Fosse. The height difference between the two streets is 9.4 meters. There are steps in the middle of the passage, and the two ends are on two floors. Although Passage Pommeraye is not long, the decorations on both sides are very exquisite. You can see Renaissance-style sculptures, and there are many shops on both sides. This passage was built in 1843. It was named after its developer Louis Pommeraye. Later, it appeared in several movies.Nantes · 711m from downtown

This place gives me the feeling of an industrial city, after all, it is a machinery park. The place is very large, you can ride on a rotating mechanical horse and a mechanical elephant, and there is also a very authentic Spanish restaurant in the machinery park. It is worth a visit to have fun and eat!

Castle of the Duke of Brienne🏯. Although Nantes is a medium-sized city in France, it feels relatively quiet and not crowded, but the urban area is also the essence, especially the area near the castle. The castle is free, the moat has dried up, and only grass and mice are left. The ancient stone walls have witnessed the vicissitudes of history. After the tour, you can go to the side and order a steak and a beer🍺about 20 euros, which is much better than Paris.

The secret garden of the Nantes people was established by Henry IV in 1593. It covers an area of ​​about 5 hectares and is located in the center of Nantes. The botanical garden has been listed as a historical monument. Attached to the medical school, it was once a space completely dedicated to research and teaching. Now it is a secret place for local people, and many people find a corner to read quietly.

It is a very European-style corridor and street. It is quite interesting to visit here. The whole street has very rich and distinctive content. The building area of ​​this area is also quite large. You can see a lot of beautiful things in the corridor.

As the sixth largest city in France, the Nantes Museum of Fine Arts is the city culture of Nantes, a shining pearl on the Atlantic coast! The exhibition hall is not big, and there are not many collections, but there are quite a few fine works, with sculptures and oil paintings on each floor!
