Good to see a small part of Nantes before heading to the airport for our flight home.

View from the hotel window this morning, Nantes city centre across the river.

First trip this morning was to see the mechanical elephant – fantastic!

And the carousel – three levels!

Then the L’Apero

And then the final match in the pool stages

Great result, eventually!

Finished off a fantastic day with a wonderful meal at Le Lion et L’agneau. Washed done with a very nice, full bodied, bottle of red wine.

Didn’t have chance to take pictures of the starter, smoked mackerel in an egg sauce with mushrooms – Daphne ate my mushrooms 🤣

And so the tour resumes.

Currently at Cardiff Wales Airport awaiting our flight to Nantes, twinned City to Cardiff.

Great result on Sunday night!

Back home and back to the day job for eight days.

Nantes is our next destination in just under two weeks.

It’s match day – Wales v Australia

After a day when Daphne was very much under the weather, we have made it to the stadium – c’mon Wales!!!

You cannot come to Lyon and not go on the hop on hop off bus

This sign sums up the French World Cup experience.

Visited the Basilica of Notre Dame de Fouviere this morning.

There is also a miniature Eiffel Tower next to it

Great view from rear of the Church

Lyon Cathedral was wonderful too

Travelling between both was fun, via the funicular railway.

We finished the day with a wonderful meal at Le Gourmet de Seze, a Michelin Star Restaurant

Today we say farewell to Marseille and travel by coach to our final destination on this tour, Lyon, where Wales will play Australia on Sunday evening.

The weather in Lyon is so bad, we have decided to eat at the hotel restaurant this evening.

Visit to a shopping centre this morning, great views from the terrace

First sensible drink on this trip🤣🤣

Snacks have arrived.

Wonderful weather for a stroll around Marseille Port this morning.

All aboard!

After a morning of great sightseeing, we are heading back to the hotel for a well earned drink and afternoon swim.
