Le Croisic to Nantes

With the help of a map, we planned our route to Nantes via smaller Coastal villages, rather than directly to Nantes using the highway.
First stop was Saint Nazaire after negotiating endless narrow cobbled streets. We parked near the beach and walked for a short while before continuing on to Pornic.
Pornic was another coastal village with a small marina full of assorted sized boats. More walking about with as brief stop for quiche at a bakery, then back on the road for Nantes .
Nantes is a larger town/city, so it was tense driving in the traffic, but the GPS directed us to the hotel without any problems.
Once checked in, we asked for directions to town and walked across the railway bridge to see The Château des ducs de Bretagne which is a large castle located in the city.
We wandered all over the Castle and then continued on to Nantes Cathedral, or the Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul which is a Roman Catholic Cathédral. Magnificent.
From the cathedral we wandered through the narrow cobbled streets, lined by shops, cafes, restaurants and the like. Eventually ,we found our way back to the Castle, from where we could relocate the hotel.
Tonight it was a rose or three and dinner in the bistro at the hotel. Choosing blindly from a menu written in French, explained by a waitress with no knowledge of English, we were very happy with our dinner!
This is our last hotel, as tomorrow we drive on to Saint Pierre des Corps to return the hire car and catch the train to Paris CDG airport to fly home . Our adventure is almost over .
