Nantes

On new year's eve in 2006, some 600 people gathered in Nantes to protest against the new year, going so far as to call on the United Nations to declare a moratorium on the future. This should tell you everything you need to know about modern-day Nantes.

Nantes is the birthplace of Jules Verne and is twinned with, among other places, Cardiff.
