Goat To Self

We’ve lucked out so we’re trying to take turns this week minding our son who didn’t manage to get a place at the activity center. With limited places you need to make sure you get there in time. (Part lottery / part priority based on previous attendance)

If you’re looking for things to do over the next two weeks however you’re in luck as there’s plenty on

You can check out the website https://www.nantes.fr/vacances

  • You’ve got the Vikings at the Castle Museum (Not to mention the Rock Exhibit)
  • Halloween at the Natural History Museum 
  • Mexican celebrations at the CosmospolisDia de los Muertos
  • Head in the stars at the Planétarium

Of course if you’re looking for other things to do … take your pick …

Why not make some Toilet Roll Bats? 😀

Pumpkin Carving? You can find pumpkins at most of the Super Markets and the question is coming up quite a bit at the moment.

While Halloween isn’t a major event here you’ll still find kids dressing up and visiting houses … you’ll have mixed responses from your neighbours no doubt. Possibly ask a few if you can visit in advance 🙂

One of the Knowing Nantes members is even organising a fancy dress in town
