On our final day they took us to the walled city of Guerande, which is a town that still has the medieval walls. We had a few hours to wander around in town.
After free time in the town, we went to a creperie for lunch. This lunch looked a lot like my dinner yesterday!
After lunch, we took a carriage ride through an old village that still contains the thatched roof houses, which were neat to see and interesting to learn more about. Unsurprisingly, they are a lot of upkeep!
Then it was back to Nantes, we had some time before dinner, so I used the time to explore some other areas I remember from my time in Nantes. These first few pictures are of Jardin des Plantes
Then I walked along part of my old bus route, which would take me past this cemetery each day. I remember on La Toussaint (All Saint’s Day) this cemetery was just a mass of orange from all the chrysanthemums that people put on their loved ones graves.
Then we had our farewell dinner, which was a true French experience (4 hours!)
Then the next day it was time to take the train back to Lille. Hopefully, I can come back to Nantes again soon!
