Nantes, France

For joining Grayhound, please make your way to the Belem Pontoon. Although the pontoon is locked, the crew will be able to see you arriving and let you in. The pontoon is quite central to the city and on the tram line, directly opposite the famous merry go round and elephant. Details of Les Machines Nantes can be found here.
