The new tram-train service from Nantes to Clisson will start at the end of August. The journey will take 28 minutes with stops at the following stations: Nantes, Saint-Sébastien, Vertou, La Haye-Fouassière, Le Pallet and Clisson. There will be two trains an hour during rush hour.

The Petit Mouzillon is a dry biscuit that was made in the small town of Mouzillon from 1848 until production ended in 2007. In July 2009 it was bought by Biofournil, a French organic bread maker. Production will recommence in early 2010. Apparently the Petit Mouzillon was traditionally eaten with a glass of Muscadet.
