Nantes has a 19th Century version of the QVB - as you can see in this photo. There is an interesting walking tour that takes you through old and new: a 14th century Romanesque church next to drab looking office buildings.We are devouring baguettes with every conceivable filling - today we feasted on smoked salmon, egg and salad. We are also crazy about "Cafe Au Lait" and "Cafe Creme" - they are the same thing, only 12 heures apart!
Nantes has a population of 290,000 and is the gateway to the wineries of the Loire Valley.
Hey guys, looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteThere has been breakding news today that there is a measles epidemic that has broken out in Germany. Apparently 1,000 Germans have been affected, so be aware when you hit their shores.
They are warning all people attending the soccer match.
Got it...now I know why they call them German measles.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry Maria, John's black t-shirt - which he is STILL WEARING 1 WEEK LATER - will be the best form of immunity for any disease!!
