There are many quirky artworks in Nantes, especially in the Botanical Gardens. This interwoven installation in the chateau moat
by American artist Patrick Dougherty invites visitors 'to enter and explore, allowing them to rediscover a site that has suddenly
been revealed and modified through these tangled-branch structures, complete with their own passageways and windows.' /
Sitting outside the restaurant adjacent to the chateau, dinner starts with amuse bouche...
...followed by oysters & foie gras...
..& finally, a nice big crab & steak onglet with pommes savoyard
