Loire Region Travel Information Pays
de la Loire includes the part of the Loire valley downstream from Saumur. The
ancient houses of Anjou and Plantagenet held sway here, and history lurks on
every corner. In
the areas surrounding Nantes and Le Mans, the cultural influences of Brittany
and Normandy are strong. The countryside is rich in historical gems and natural
beauties away from the better-known attractions of the Loire valley itself that
are just waiting to be discovered. By road, the region is easily reached in a few hours from any of the Channel crossings, though the ports of St. Malo and Caen (sailings from Portsmouth) offer the shortest drive. Nantes also has an airport. For accommodation, flights, ferries, car hire and other tourist information please type 'LOIRE REGION FRANCE' into the search bar above
