Join me on an extreme day trip from London to France — and my first-ever extreme day trip challenge — as I attempt to explore Nantes in just one day. Flying solo from London Gatwick (LGW) to Nantes Atlantique Airport (NTE) with EasyJet, I wanted to see how much of this amazing French city you can realistically experience in under 24 hours.
This is a realistic solo travel vlog, filmed as a genuine one-day city adventure, showing exactly what it’s like to take on an extreme day trip from London on your own. No tour groups, no guide — just a camera, a tight schedule, and an entire city to explore before catching the flight home.
What I experience on this extreme solo day trip to Nantes:
* Château des Ducs de Bretagne — the city’s iconic medieval fortress
* Nantes Cathedral (Cathédrale Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul)
* The incredible world of Les Machines de l’Île, including the Grand Elephant
* A quick stop inside the Musée d’Arts de Nantes
* POV walking footage through Nantes City Centre — perfect for travellers planning their own trip
If you’re interested in solo travel, solo day trips, 24-hour travel challenges, day trips from London, or simply want to know whether Nantes in one day is doable, this video gives you a realistic look at the pace, atmosphere, and experience of an extreme solo adventure.
Was this fast-paced day worth the early start and late finish?
Watch to find out — and decide if you’re ready for your own extreme day trip.
