I arrived in Nantes, the first step! (Photo 1 is an eye contact selfie)

I saw a Ouigo classic train next to mine (photo 2), that's the first time I see one of those, but I'm not boarding it.

Here's a fact about Nantes! They have giant robot animals that parade every now and then. Tom Scott did a video about it! ​:tom_scott2:​ https://youtube.com/watch?v=SSg3T0aK-ck

These are pictured in the train station (photo 3)!!!

Another fact about Nantes: next to the train station, there is a beautiful garden!!! 😍

I have a 40 minutes connection, so I explored a bit. I have been there before, I love this place. I'd love to take my partners there someday.

It's very big and I didn't have much time, still, it was very pleasant!

And a fact about the garden: it's full of art installations! Specifically, there are a bunch of large colourful characters doing surprising things. I spotted two of them today but there are a lot more.

I also saw some odd benches, and birbs!

I have arrived to La Rochelle (pictured), where I'm waiting for a TGV to [undisclosed location], where @Stellar will pick me up.

I was on board of an Intercité train (pictured), this was my first time taking one of those! (They're kinda rare)
