Nantes

Phew, a scorcher in Nantes today!.........32c !!!
Cycled into Nantes city, what a happening place!  Saw a 40ft high mechanical elephant, got told off by an official for carrying our bikes around the Chateau ramparts, diced with the traffic and Kate was forced off the road by an ambulance!


This is the Palace inside the castle walls




Yup!, straight out of Jules Verne!




After all the excitement I needed a lie down, and was joined by this hedge!




And Kate felt a little overwhelmed by the size of the place!





After our day in Nantes we moved from last nights site to St Philbert de Grand Lieu because the Nantes one was noisy and a bit too 'urban'.  Now we are in a vineyard in the middle of nowhere............ahhhhh! Silence (and complete darkness)
