Courgette, Tomato, and Mozerella Tart
I have a confession to make… I write down recipes on my blog so that I remember them (I come back and go oooh I could make that tonight). This is one that a few people who have tried have asked me to share though so here goes. It requires some basic enough...
Crescent Moon and Venus over Nantes
If you look in the sky tonight you’ll see a beautiful crescent moon and below it on the right you’ll see a pretty bright star … except that’s Venus. Beautiful to see. (Did I mention my obsession)
Congrats France on the World Cup Win
Congrats France on winning the World Cup yesterday and with the country gone slightly crazy last night this seems highly appropriate today 🙂 Of course it does require a small bit of understanding of French but I think I’d this much covered for the Leaving Cert...
What you need to know for the world cup final!
Well I still don’t know any of the players names but if you are planning on heading into Nantes tonight you’ve a few options … (of course all the pubs are going to be packed but it’ll be shown EVERYWHERE) There’ll be a Giant Screen...
Police Clashes after man shot dead in Nantes
It’s not always good when Nantes is in the news. I suspect if you’re out in the evenings in any of the hot zones you’ll want to be careful as we’ve seen things flare in the past. Breil, Dervallières, et Malakoff. Link:...
A new lease of life for 15 places in Nantes
So in case you didn’t know it there was a vote recently to decide 15 places to re-invent in Nantes. There were originally 81 projects at the end of January 2017 … this was whittled down to 41 and from the 9th to the 23rd of June 2018 they were voted on....
Visit the Pirate Ship!
First up no it’s not a pirate ship and no it wasn’t used in Pirates of the Caribbean but it is a recreation of a 16th Century Spanish Galleon and you can visit it. (We just happened to bring along our own little pirate) Unfortunately it’s quite a...

Nantes Loves Cricket
I’m finding myself without much time to blog at the moment. We did however make it to the Cricket yesterday in the Parc du Grand Blottereau. Cricket you say? Yep I’m finding out more and more about Nantes all the time. There’s a male team and a...
Nantes est un chantier
Walking home the other day and you get the weirdest ideas. There’s construction work going on everywhere. The tram for me is cut in the evenings and also slows down as it’s passing the various construction sites. The station / gare has construction going...
Do you Tu or Vous?
I’ve ended up seeing this image a few times over the last while and I thought it’s worth sharing. Having to be formal and saying vous just goes against my nature. I might say sir or madame from time to time in English but it’d be rare. Hell the...
Going on Safari in Nantes at Planete Sauvage
Val is always on the lookout for things to do with the kids and with a special on Groupon for Planete Sauvage we had tickets! Now I suspect like most Zoo / Animal Parks … Planete Sauvage isn’t cheap. At €26.50 for an adult and €21 for children (older than...
