Title: Nantes (Updated 4-13)
Post by: Amerikaner on March 16, 2008, 09:11:08 PM

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi222.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fdd111%2FAmerikano_2007%2FnANTESTIENT.gif&hash=fb5a553ecc314c41aa27230d3e6a4d283ebcd666)

About 23 miles outside of Nantes, we sit on the other side of Lake Montieclair, with its dazzling coast, TIENT's elite speeding by in their yachts and speedboats, and the TientLink streaming by at almost 200mph. Rail is a very important part of TIENT transportation, and is one of the three ways to get to Nantes. The other two are by boat and by airplane. There is at the moment no highway that links the city to the outside world, and one must take a ferry from Metz, about a 15 min ride, to get onto the National Motorway which leads from Metz to the city of Yjervan in Samkir. Thus rail is the most frequent use of transportation, with hundreds of thousands of commuters and tourists using it daily and nightly, keeping Nantes' six main stations busy even at two in the morning.

Something not seen in Nantes on this scale, the new huge demand for high-rises in and around the city. And in no place is it anymore apparent than in the Le centre de Commerce et de Mode Sector of Nantes. With almost 9 planned or already built skyscrapers, this area is becoming the most densely populated and richest part of the city. With block after block being torn down, residents are scrambling to create Bill d'Histoire which can keep there blocks from being torn down. In the fashion news a new D&G, Prada, Muschovi, and Jean Paul Gaultier have moved into the area to compliment the area's already high up-scale shops. And with fashion week just around the corner, preparations are being made in not only Mode Park, but also many of the Cathedrals and buildings big enough to hold a fashion show, while the designers themselves put the final touches on there works
.

Another ad for TientLink, which connects Nantes to Yjervan,Samkir (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=4175.0) .

Interesting what you do with the mosaics.  Is this done with a photoshop filter or plugin to make them look streaky?

As well leave Nantes itself, we enter the cities that surround Nantes. Novopetro sits about 3km from the airport, and along the busiest line of the TICE-N. The city is very important due to its small port and its nuclear plant, which powers most of the city and the surrounding area. With a population of about 345,500 it is also one of Nantes' biggest sub-cities. As well the airport only a few kilometers away, it is also the hub for most of the transportation that runs through the city, including the TICE-N, NBS, and the FSN, and both AirTient and Tientlink have there headquarters in Novopetro.

Well after this we are moving on to another "nation", I got bored with TIENT so when I finish up I will just post the new CJ here. Because though there were a few updates I still have not shown you all of TIENT I have a couple weeks to spare with at least something going on at this md.
