 Pays de la Loire travel guide - Wikitravel
The Pays de Loire [1] is an extensive region of north-western France located broadly to the west and south-west of the French capital Paris, though separated from it by the adjoining region of Centre-Val de Loire with which it shares many affinities.
The Pays de Loire is somewhat more diverse, however, possessing a long coastline along the Atlantic Ocean, forming the northern part of the Bay of Biscay, within the area known as the Vendée.
Travellers wishing to see more of the Loire Valley can continue further east into the adjoining Centre-Val de Loire region, studded with additional historical cities and chateaux at sites such as Bourges and Saint-Benoît-du-Sault.
