Over the past few decades, Nantes has quietly turned into one of the most inventive cities in France. Big events and bold ideas keep things moving year-round—from the musical madness of La Folle Journée, to the giant puppets of Royal de Luxe, to the open-air artworks of Estuaire, and of course, the surreal mechanical creatures of Les Machines de l’île. Art here isn’t just in galleries—it spills into the streets, parks, and even along the river.

This indoor water park is fun for the whole family. There are water slides, Jacuzzi, climbing walls, swimming pools and, when you get hungry after all fun, it is possible to get some food and drinks in the restaurant and cafe.

Situated to the west of Östersund, the largest island in Lake Storsjön, Frösön holds a rich historical significance. Named after the Norse god Freyr, the island, which served as the regional centre of Jämtland throughout much of recorded history, boasts the northernmost raised runestone in the world, known as the "Frösö Runestone”. Easily accessible by foot, car, or bus, the island is a short walk across the pedestrian bridge from Östersund. The renowned Swedish composer Wilhelm Peterson-Berger's enchantment with the island led to the creation of "Sommarhagen", now a museum and one of Östersund's most visited attractions.
