Places to see in ( Nantes - France ) Place Royale
The Place Royale , located in the city center of Nantes , in France , was designed in 1786 by architect Nantes Mathurin Crucy . Built in 1790 after the destruction of the medieval ramparts , it forms the central element of a homogenous ensemble of buildings in keeping with the classical architecture built on this occasion. It has a monumental fountain opened in 1865.
Dedicated from the outset to trade, it has welcomed signs that are remembered and kept in the xxi e century its commercial vocation. Despite its name, the square has never housed a monarch statue, like the other Royal places in France , but it has a symbolic value in the city, and is a popular point of artistic, festive or political gatherings. The site, very damaged during the Second World War , is restored almost identically between 1945 and 1961. Over time a roundabout devoted to car traffic , esplanade enjoys, between 2007 and 2011, d a renovation that includes it since in the pedestrian zone of the city center.
Mathurin Crucy , also designer of the Place Graslin , connects it to the Place Royale by the rue Crébillon. It respects, for the Place Royale, the principles of the classical architecture : symmetry of the facades, rigor of the plan, opening of the perspectives. Its shape is composed of the combination of a rectangle (in the east) and a hemispherical part (in the west), giving it a so-called mirror-like shape. The orientation of the square is in an east-west axis, slightly shifted towards south-west - north-east. A fountain, symbol of the city, sits at the center of the rectangular part
Inaugurated in 1865 , the fountain monumental work of architect surveyor of the city Henri-Théodore Driollet , symbolizes the river and maritime vocation of Nantes. Its pyramidal structure is composed of three granite basins superimposed, the one at ground level forming a square. The city is represented by a white marble statue (all the others are in bronze ) having the features of a crowned woman, holding a trident : it is about a figure of the Greek mythology , Amphitrite , goddess of the sea and wife of Poseidon holding in his hands the trident of Neptune

Places to see in ( La Baule Escoublac - France )
Places to see in ( La Baule Escoublac - France )
La Baule-Escoublac, commonly referred to as La Baule, is a commune in the Loire-Atlantique department in western France.
A century-old seaside resort in southern Brittany with beautiful villas, casino, luxury hotels and an original mix of old Breton and exclusive seaside culture with a 12 kilometer-long sand beach, La Baule has long been home to French high society's seaside residences. During July and August each year, the population of La Baule increases dramatically with many Parisians staying for weeks and regular day-trippers from Nantes. Parisians can take the train in Paris Montparnasse Station and it is about 3 hours to go to La Baule. Despite this, La Baule is still virtually unknown outside France.
In 1779, a violent storm buried the village of Escoublac, near the current location of La Baule, under sand. Escoublac was rebuilt further inland. At that time, the very unstable dunes were occupied only by customs officers, who gave them the name of Bôle, a term indicating an easily flooded maritime meadow. It was only in 1879, when the Saint-Nazaire-Croisic railroad was conceived by Parisian industrialist Jules-Joseph Hennecart that the tourist potential of the coast was recognised.
In 1918, casino business magnate François André (see Groupe Lucien Barrière) set up the redesigning of the La Baule resort based on the Deauville model by combining casinos, luxury hotels and sports facilities all on one site. In the 1920s, Parisian businessman Louis Lajarrige designed the very successful Bois d'Amour district at La Baule-les-Pins and formed an agreement with the railroad company to move the rails away from the seaside to ensure a direct access to the beach. On July 27, 1927 the new stations of La Baule-les-Pins and La Baule-Escoublac (see picture) were inaugurated while the old station was torn down to create a flower garden square. By that time, La Baule has become a very fashionable seaside resort.
During World War II La Baule formed part of the protective stretch of coast leading to the nearby harbour city of Saint-Nazaire, home of one of the biggest U-Boat stations the Germans ever built. It not only serviced the German submarine fleet, but was also the only dry dock on the Atlantic capable of housing the German battleship Tirpitz, one of two Bismarck-class ships built for the German Kriegsmarine during World War II.
One of France's most exclusive seaside resorts during the first half of the 20th century, La Baule has become much more democratized since the 1960s. Today the resort mixes wealthy family villas, luxury hotels and seaside apartment buildings, creating an original and unique atmosphere of social diversity. The nearby region has long been an area of contact and conflict between Breton culture and that of the neighbouring Loire valley, and consequently is rich with historic places, castles (Nantes castle), walled cities (Guerande), not to mention 19th century seaside resorts, such as Quiberon, and many typical Breton fishing villages (Le Croisic, Pornichet).
The Grand Prix de la Baule was a Grand Prix motor racing event held here during the 1930s. Today, the Grand Prix de la Ville de La Baule is a prestigious equestrian show jumping competition that is part of the international Equestrian Nations Cup series. Local tourist authorities routinely refer to the bay as the most beautiful in Europe. Furthermore, La Baule is part of the Côte d'Amour, which features beautiful cliffs and amazing views of the Atlantic Ocean. The commune of Escoublac has achieved a new vitality with the restoration of its civic center and the installation of many attractions.

Places to see in ( Nantes - France ) Village de Trentemoult
Places to see in ( Nantes - France ) Village de Trentemoult
Lovely for a pleasant stroll, and a place to have something to eat and drink, to chat with friends and watch the changing hues of the Loire under the setting sun. From the western tip of the Isle you’ll first notice the red-tiled roofs, a sure sign that you are looking at the south bank of the Loire. Trentemoult is part of Rezé, which stretches along the south of Nantes. It was once a fishing and Cape Horner village.
Its traditional three-storey houses were built with the Loire’s rise in water level in mind, the ground floor, liable to flooding, contained the cellar, and above it was the reception room. The top level was an attic, which often linked to neighbouring attics, allowing villagers to meet without having to use boats. The staircases were mainly outside, giving access to the upstairs rooms during times of flooding. Occasionally there was an interior staircase too.
In the second half of the 19th century, captains started to feel squeezed in by size of these houses, and started to build bigger ones around the village. These more bourgeois houses had large gardens filled with flowers and exotic plants brought back from their travels. Building the quayside reduced the risk of floods, the last big ones happened in 1910 and 1935.

Nantes, France (Les Machines, Nantes Gothic Cathedral)
Les Machines is more than just a tourist place. It's one of a kind (in the world) collaboration of the works of art, architecture and engineering. It is AMAZING! I feel so blessed to be in Nantes Cathedral as well. To see through my own eyes the church which took 457 years to finish, an example of Gothic architecture.
