Nantes, Between Loire and Ocean
Š hemis.fr
Feature
France :
The capitale of western France is never short of surprises and changes. Its seductive side was especially appreciated by Julien Gracq in the era of the surrealist movement. He would not have been in the least surprised to witness the giant elephant on Nantes Island - created by Royal Deluxe company - marching around. An imaginery journey which Jules Verne as a native of the city could empathise with. Nantes has been known to attract many well known architects and town planners such as Jean Nouvel, Chemettoff or Perrault to mark with a modern stamp a town which considers itself one of the great cities of Europe. But history, an ever present feature of the city, fits marvelously in the Nantes heritage symbolised by Anne de Bretagne or the maritime legacy of the 18th Century. A place to see and share...
