Pays de la Loire is one of the regions created in the late 20th century to serve as a zone of influence for its capital, Nantes, one of a handful so-called "balancing metropolises".
Other examples of "artificially created" regions include Rhône-Alpes, which was created as the region for Lyon, and Midi-Pyrénées, which was created as the region for Toulouse.
Cote de Lumiere has 10 sandy beaches neighbour one another, the length of the 12 km of dunes edged by a forest of maritime pine. Charming ports, sandy beaches and surf beaches are enjoyed by all who come to Pays de Loire for their holiday.

The Loire river is a natural and free guide for discovering the biggest UNESCO World Heritage site in France. The white stone which gives the towns and villages of the banks of the Loire their sparkle is known as tufa.
On arrival in Pays de Loire, you will be amazed to find, nestling among the calm green surroundings, a Roman cloister, a medieval fortress or an exceptional viewpoint from a terraced rock.
