Join Phileas Fogg, in any aircraft, for a brisk 155 kts flight through Loire Valley wine country.
Nantes* became a sister city of Jacksonville in the early 1980s.
* Pronunciation: In "Nantes" the "es" is silent. The "an" is a nasal vowel. I recommend Americans pronounce it either as "Nawnt", or similar to "Nought" but with an "n" added before the "t".
