Trip to Nantes

Last weekend we spent a couple of days in Nantes. Nantes used to be the capital of Brittany until 30th June 1941, when it became part of the Pays de la Loire. It is a truly beautiful place.

 
We didn't have time to see as much of it as we wanted to so we shall certainly be going back for more"  We saw the magnificent cathedral and a number of other churches and found a great restaurant.  The thing that has made the most lasting impression on me though was the memorial to slavery, not for artistic reasons, but because the bleakness and the profound quotations spoke to my heart.  Do visit it if you get a chance.
