The Loire stretches along the Atlantic Ocean, just below Brittany. It is a very scenic region, with some 30 miles of the Jade Coast, plenty of green countryside, and 250 miles of waterways. The huge beaches are perfect for windsurfers, and for people looking for a relaxing holiday.
The Loire Valley is famous for its wines, especially the light, dry, delicious red wine that you can enjoy in every restaurant and cellar of this area. If it’s chateaux that you are looking for, you can visit some of the magnificent examples built by the Kings of France centuries ago.
The Pays-de-la-Loire is a contrast in environments. It has 300 kilometers of Atlantic coastline with sea-breezes, long sandy beaches, enchanting bays, and islands like Yeu and Noirmoutier. This contrasts with the lush, green, countryside through which flows the magnificent river Loire. The Loire Valley-Atlantic region (Pays-de-la-Loire) includes the Departments of Loire-Atlantique, Maine-et-Loire, Sarthe, Vendée, and Mayenne.
This part of France has always been a popular place for kings and nobles, who built their elegant châteaux throughout the region. Many have been restored and are inhabited by their owners, who open them to the public. Some stately homes accommodate overnight guests in their comfortable apartments. Other châteaux open their homes and gardens to the production of "Sount and Light" shows.
Exploring beyond the busy valley, the tourist can drive deeper into a undulating and quiet hinterland where châteaux, abbeys and mansions reveal the testimony of a rich past. At Le Mans, the yearly car race known as the "24 heures" attracts visitors from all over the world. Don't forget traditional cities like Angers, Saumur and Nantes where you can visit the many castles, châteaux and museums and loose yourself among their picturesque winding narrow streets leading to provincial markets and busy shops.
Horse lovers should visit the "Cadre Noir" at Saumur, headquarters of the world famous National Horse and Riding School. The region produces an astonishing variety of wines that range from dry to sweet and from still to sparkling, soft, fruity, rosés, light red wines a delicate bouquet and characteristic flavour. Have you ever tasted Muscadet, Gros-Plant, Gamay red or rosé, Champigny, Cabernet, sparkling dry Sa?
The Pays de la Loire is an agricultural region of western France, comprising the départements of Loire-Atlantique, Maine-et-Loire, Mayenne, Sarthe, and La Vendée; area 32,082 sq km/12,387 sq mi; population (1999 est) 3,222,100. The administrative centre is Nantes. Industries include shipbuilding and wine production.
The region is bisected by the lower Loire River valley and its estuary below Nantes. The valley, known as the Val de Loire, is where the region's renowned agricultural production (dominated by livestock raising) is centred, and where its cultural life is focused. Industry and shipping activities are concentrated in the Nante-Saint-Nazaire corridor (France's fourth-largest seaport), while the famous Loire chateau and wine country stretches upriver. Le Mans, which gives its name to the yearly 24-hour motor race, is located on the Sarthe, in the north.
