Some light relief on the way to the tram (free all weekend!)
The market on Sunday. Loads of customers. All sorts of food.
Roast chicken was popular too.
There were several fishmongers selling all sorts of seafood.
Wine, of course.
There’s nowhere to sit in the market, so some folk took their fresh oysters to the nearest cafe to eat with a glass of wine.
As it was a bit chilly, we nipped into Nantes Musée d‘Art to see an exhibition on the age of the great Atlantic liners. Free on the first Sunday of the month, our luck‘s in today.
At the time they felt everything was so big.
Le Corbusier was said to have been inspired by the way the passengers lived for the 12 day crossing to America.
Life on board one of the great transatlantic cruise ships.
A utopian vision of future life prior to the war. That’s a Zeppelin at the top…

We then followed the famous green line to the Jardin des Plantes.
One cool cat.
One cold and wet statue.
Another cold and wet sculpture, time to head for home.
