Nantes, a city on the Loire River in the Upper Brittany region of Western France and home to the sensational Christine and the Queens, has a long history as a port and industrial center. It's home to the restored, 15th-century Château des Ducs de Bretagne, where the Dukes of Brittany once lived. The castle is now a local history museum with multimedia exhibits, and visitors can walk among its turrets.
