  Charmed nuclei are investigated utilizing $\Lambda_c N$ and $\Sigma_c N$
interactions that have been extrapolated from lattice QCD simulations at
unphysical masses of $m_\pi = 410$--$570$ MeV to the physical point using
chiral effective field theory as guideline. Calculations of the energies of
$\Lambda_c$ single-particle bound states for various charmed nuclei from $^{\
5}_{\Lambda_c}$Li to $^{209}_{\Lambda_c}$Bi are performed using a perturbative
many-body approach. This approach allows one to determine the finite nuclei
$\Lambda_c$ self-energy from which the energies of the different bound states
can be obtained. Though the $\Lambda_c N$ interaction inferred from the lattice
results is only moderately attractive, it supports the existence of charmed
nuclei. Already the lightest nucleus considered is found to be bound. The
spin-orbit splitting of the p- and d-wave states turns out to be small, as in
the case of single $\Lambda$ hypernuclei. Additional calculations based on the
Faddeev-Yakubovsky equations suggest that also $A=4$ systems involving a
$\Lambda_c$ baryon are likely to be bound, but exclude a bound $^{\,
3}_{\Lambda_c}$He state.
