There are several fascinating works of modern art in the Jardin des Plantes in Nantes, most by Jean Jullien, which embellish the park, and obviously hugely increase the number of visitors to it. Sadly, the plaque to the poet Élisa Mercœur is no longer at the entrance to the park, and appears to have disappeared. There is an area dedicated to her nearby, although the existence of the plaque seems to be unknown as new railings have been put up. Nantes is hugely strong on culture, but where is the plaque and why has Jacques Demy's birthplace gone?
