About this tour

This call is a plain conversation about two of the region's best-known foods, the local white wine and the simple white beans that turn up in so many dishes here. We look at what separates this wine from its neighbours, then move on to the beans and the butter sauce often served alongside local fish. I keep bottles and packets on hand throughout to show rather than just describe.

We start with the wine and a map, then move into the food side once the basics are covered, leaving time for your own questions throughout. A written shortlist of names to look for follows by message.

This suits anyone planning a trip or simply curious about regional food and drink. It also works well as a shorter add-on to a longer walking call.

Included

A 45-minute call with a local guide
Honest tips on where to eat, stay and what to skip
A short follow-up note with every place mentioned

Not included

Questions about this tour

What will the call cover?

The guide talks you through Nantes: where to go, what to eat, and answers to whatever you ask.

What happens if the call drops?

The guide will try you again straight away.

Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?

Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.

Do I need to buy or cook anything?

No. This is a conversation: the guide describes the dishes and where to find them, so you can try them yourself whenever suits you.
