"Namnetes" Nantes by TheaIren
Nantes Travel Guide: 215 reviews and 614 photos
No, I did'nt wrote the page title wrongly. Namnetes happened to be the celtic tribes name who settled on the river Loire and gave birth to Nantes.
If you like history, then this city has mostly a lot of 18th century remainings.

Here you are, it is not only about the Nantes but it is a videoclip about whole Brittany area on 1936.

Amazing! Is'nt it? You can see their clothing, their traditions and most likely major people seen in this video is already in the " other side " but you still look into their alive face, full of joy.
Sometimes I am standing in the street and like in some sci-fi movie, you raise a hand and remove a layers of time - this is a dreamer talking :)
- Pros:Close by international airport
- Cons:None
- In a nutshell:You can explore everything in a week
