Hi friends,

I will be leaving in Nantes starting November20 until December 06.
Can somebody recommend me some cheap accommodation please.

Thanks a lot in advance.

IS THERE LOCAL TRANSPORT FROM AIRPORT TO ST.GILLES CROIX DE VIE

Where is the unusual Art Gallery mentioned by a member??? It is called l'Epicier d'Art and is near St.Nicholas church??...but where exactly???

I'm thinking of renting a cell phone while I'm in Nantes in order to keep up with some family things going on at home that I need to pay attention to. Is there a kiosk in the Paris airport that I could do this at, or a storefront in Nantes? I've tried checking with Vodafone by email and on their website, but haven't been able to get a straight answer. Perhaps Vodafone isn't my answer, in which case what phone company should I be looking for?

Thanks!

I'll be in Nantes June 15-June 23 for some work meetings at the University, and I'll have some free time during the weekend. If a person had only one day to see/do things in Nantes, what would be your top suggestions?

I'm not much of a wine drinker (so I'm afraid vineyards would be wasted on me), but I do like to visit historical sites and museums.

Thanks!

Hi, I need to get from Nantes airport to Nantes train station. If you could let me know how to do this how far the journey is and how long it takes both by car and public transport. Many thanks, lenny.

Hi, can anyone help.

I will be arriving at Nantes Airport around 7pm at night, and want to travel on to the town of Angers that same evening. What is the best way?
(I don't want to hire a car)

Merci!

What's the best way to get from CDG to Nantes? I wanted to fly, but have heard horror stories about the Air France flights being very unreliable in both directions, people missing their connections because AF cancelled flights, etc.

Folks have suggested taking the high speed train (which I really didn't want to do with all my luggage), but thought I'd ask anyway if there is a train station right in the Paris airport, or do I need to go look for it, and do I need a reservation ahead of time?

Any pros and cons of train vs flying? Also, is there a train schedule online? I haven't been able to find one yet (although I also haven't given up looking for it).

I'll be there on a business trip June 14-24, and am looking forward to seeing the sights in and around the city!

Hello Friends, I am from India and new to nantes . I am currently working with Alcatel and lover of exporing new places ?. I need some travelling tips around this places and very much interested in knowing france and french culture

Desperately waiting for response

I will be helping out with teaching English in a secondary school in Nantes from 1 October 2004-end of April 2005. At the moment I don't know the exact area of Nantes that I will be working in - but does anyone know how I can find some cheap accommodation somewhere relatively central? I will be arriving around the middle/end of September and most likely staying until mid-may or maybe longer.

I would appreciate it if anybody could help me out with this.

Thanks
