Hello everyone! My name is Aizada and I am an architecture student in Nantes. I have been living in this incredible city for 5 years and would love to share it with you. I love learning about the history of this city and its people, and have worked on several projects building this city's architecture. I come from Kyrgyzstan, where I was a tour guide for 2 years!

For the medieval section, we will visit the Château des Ducs de Bretagne, the Bouffay district, and the Nantes Cathedral. During this walk also we will make stop in one of the best boulangerie of Nantes, so you could buy something to eat or drink.
