Does anyone else ever watch House Hunters International on HGTV? We love when they feature a house in France, even though my husband grows highly agitated when they complain about not having an elevator or inadequate bathrooms.
Sunday night, I saw an edition of House Hunters International set in Nantes, France, which is where our friends live. I even saw a shot of their apartment building which is just across the street from the Chateau de Nantes (Chateau des ducs de Bretagne).
Our friends have lived in a few different apartments in Nantes, but the current one is on the top floor, which is the fourth floor. They walk up those many flights of stairs every day and have beautiful views.
Don't you just love the rooftops in France. I don't know what the deal is with all those upside down flowerpots, but they say France to me.
Last time we were there, we stayed in the master bedroom and this is the view of the chateau out the window.
On the other side of the apartment, the view is of the Nantes cathedral.
I think I'd be willing to walk up all those stairs everyday for views like this, but I'd probably be better at planning my outings to minimize the number of trips up and down the stairs.

I just saw a House Hunters International on HGTV and they were looking for a home in Nantes. It looked like a lovely city.

We must have watched the same show.
I love staying in apartments in France (or anywhere on holidays really), it's always so much better than a hotel. What a great view this one has.
I've linked a country post, 'cos I'm a country girl! Thanks Paulita.
