The Trip to Nantes (1): the old single

The Trip to Nantes claims butting disparate attractions of the city into a powerful tourist traps. The intention is laudable, but the idea is overused. We waited for the grandiose and the grotesque, a good material for controversy. There was a project effete, "small arms" Sophie said as Jozan interviewed by Eric Blondeel in Cabanas and Cedric Ocean Press yesterday, without nerve exposed by a press verbose. Even the logo looks like a of these rings that you buy at Metro batch of one thousand for the sales and liquidations.

How The Trip to Nantes he describes the ideal stay in Nantes?

"Enter the unique ... discover the permanent collection of the Museum of Fine Arts ... enter the cathedral through the crypts ... Nymphea admire on the surface of the Canal Saint Felix ... get to know the history of Nantes with its Museum at the Castle of the Dukes ... enjoy a view ignored the old town ... stop for a drink in a sculpture ... indulge in a walk an elephant or a ride ... to share a monumental moment in our history the Memorial of the abolition of slavery ... who know the weather in 4h by a huge weather indicator on the front of a building ... take a cruise to discover the natural heritage of the estuary and the works that line the shore to shore ... "

can imagine Japanese tourists rush to Nantes to see how long it in four hours and will drink a glass sculpture (including Jean Blaise avoids recall it is aptly titled The Absence) before breaking his nose on the door of the Museum of Fine Arts already closed, then the Memorial still open.

It sounds like these collective tourism promotion campaigns which saw the flowering of the posters in the corridors of the Paris metro in late winter: "For us, there is the countryside, towns and rivers," " With us, there is the sea, museums, gardens, "" Here, there are castles, mountains, shows. Who was it again? Nièvre Atlantic? Tarn-et-Loire? The region of Pays de la Saône? Behind the tired slogans, one imagines ad agencies become cynical, aware that nothing original can not survive the examination of a local tourism community where each contributor will have his share.

Jean Blaise And that did not even need a committee to embark on the same track hackneyed. As if the invention of something more original than Central Unified Tourism Board Nantes was enough to exhaust his imagination. Or as if, now, Jean-Marc Ayrault lead changed everything it touches?
