We took a rest from cycling today, and spent the day touring Nantes. Turns out it has a very rich history, as it was a major inland port supported by ocean tides.
The churches here tend to have modern stained glass, as they have been destroyed so many times. Nantes was a stronghold of the Nazi occupation. This is the inside of St Nicolas.
In the excellent Chateau Museum we discovered that there used to be another transporter bridge here, as depicted in this model.
And there we also found what may become the symbol of our trip. It is a ceramic image for LU biscuits, which was catering to the upper class – because tandem bicycles were expensive.
