Beautyaddy:No it's not. The one that got burnt is Notre Dame in Paris. However, this same cathedral once had some fire incidence in the 20th century. 4 Likes 1 Share |

The castle of the Dukes of Brittany is a defensive castle and pleasure located in Nantes (Wiki). It was built since 1840. Founded by the Dukes of Brittany in the xiii th century to build a defensive base in Nantes, the castle became, under Francis II , the main Breton ducal residence. Its military function is also used by the Duke during the Crazy War in which he opposes the King of France . His daughter, the Duchess Anne , was later forced to marry two successive kings of France, Charles VIII and Louis XII . These marriages entail the union of Brittany with France , definitively sealed by an edict signed with the castle in 1532 , by François. (Wiki) For more info (consult google) This Castle is now a tourist centre where tourists pay 10 euro to have access to the main arena (which is underground). For us students, we only saw the free sections. So let's go. Pics 1. Welcome to the castle Pics 2. Door opens. 4 Likes

mrphysics: Wow!...you are doing so great with those pictures. Quick question, so how is that Cathedral being maintained? Like money wise? I don't want to believe that its being maintained by people just attending the services there and paying their tithes and offerings...cause I want to believe that the current generation of French people are not that religious as their past ancestors. 4 Likes |

Re: My France Picture Gallery by mrphysics(m): 7:40pm On Oct 02, 2019 |
Beautyaddy: Yeah, they are not that religious, however, they are passionate about the preservation of their cultural heritage. Inside the church, there are candles and you can light anyone up with anything you wish. No one will force or ask you to light any candle up. I think it's a way of generating some revenue. Secondly, the country is rich and government or local council can fund the maintenance of the church. 4 Likes |

Any building with no designs is surely not in Nantes. I learned that Nantes city recently won the award of Europe's most creative city. 12 Likes 2 Shares

Nantes does with statues the same thing China does with technology. You hardly go to any place without seeing some statues. As we rounded up our trip today, we went to La place Graslin. In it, there's a restaurant called La Cigale. Dans la cigale est beau. ( You must also learn french too) 9 Likes
