In fact, Benjamin Frankin did NOT disembark at Nantes, but after several days of being becalmed, he hailed a fishing boat and he and his grandsons, Temple Franklin and Benny Bache, were taken to the little port of Auray, on the Brittany coast. From there, they made their way by (uncomfortable) coach to Nantes and from Nantes, eventually, to Paris.
