Choose a Holiday Home in Pays de la Loire for a Lovely Holiday
France's northwestern Pays de la Loire region stretches luxuriously along the Atlantic coast, offering sandy beaches, secluded coves, and charming fishing ports, all dotted with potential holiday houses and holiday apartments. The region owes its name to the slow-moving Loire River that runs from east to west in France before it flows into the Atlantic.
The Culture Factor
Declared a World Heritage for Humanity Site by UNESCO, this region is brimming with attractions ranging from castles and tufa stone villages to outdoor cafés and vineyards. Capital city Nantes is a laidback place for a holiday home. Nearby, the Castle of Angers' Apocalypse Tapestry is the pride of Angers, along with the Terra Botanica Park, Europe's first amusement park dedicated to plants. The walled city of Guerande is well-known for its Breton marsh salt. Children will love the historical reenactment of chariot races at the Puy du Fou historic theme park, the funky Nuit des Chimères light show in the city of Le Mans, and the giant elephant and other 'fantastic machines' (part of a historical art project) on the Ile de Nantes.
The Ocean, Rivers, and Nature
The Pays de la Loire region is dotted with farms, but holiday house and holiday rental options abound. Meanwhile, the French Atlantic Coast, with its many fishing ports, offers visitors a range of sea villas, holiday rentals, and well-equipped holiday apartments. The port of Pornic on the Jade Coast is as charming as La Baule, one of the world’s most beautiful bays, known for its Belle Époque villas. Renting a secluded holiday home on the islands of Yeu or Noirmoutier holds promise too. Families with kids should take note of 'La Loire à Vélo,' an 800 km, family-friendly cycling route that passes by the region's castles, monuments from the Medieval Ages, and nature reserves. The route also offers options for boating, fishing, and canoeing. Meanwhile, Sables d’Olonne's thalassotherapy center is renowned for its alternative relaxation methods.
