Promenade de l'Erdre.

Last Thursday we shook the Normandy country dust out of our hair and headed to Nantes, capital city of the Loire Atlantique region of Brittany.

Château de la Gascherie

There were two salons being held in the centre of Nantes, "Pour l'amour du Fil" for all things textile related and "Pour l'Amour du Scrap" for those of us who like to play with paper and glue.

Le Manoir de la Régate restaurant

As we were travelling with our German Shepherd, M'selle Fleur, we chose to stay overnight outside of the city centre at the Best Western, 3 star, Hotel de la Regatta.

Located on the bank of the River Erdre and surrounded by beautiful countryside it was the perfect location, ideal for those late night and early morning "tiddle times" that a GS girl needs.
