Pays de la Loire is a diverse western French region anchored by Nantes, one of France's most dynamic and culturally inventive cities. The region spans the lower Loire Valley with its Renaissance châteaux, Atlantic beaches and islands along the Vendée coast, the rillettes-producing Le Mans, and the wine appellations of Muscadet, Anjou, and Saumur. World-class theme park Puy du Fou, the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans circuit, and the mechanical art installations of Nantes make this one of France's most varied regions for visitors.
