Pays de la Loire Holiday rentals in Pays de la Loire

The Pays de la Loire region promises you a stay as varied as the landscapes that make it up. Even if the proximity of the Atlantic Ocean favours aquatic leisure activities, there is a wealth of beautiful places and contrasting panoramas to discover during your stay in a holiday rental in the Pays de la Loire.

Holidays in the Pays de la Loire: the ocean, the river, the Alps...

No, it's not a mistake, the Alps do exist in the Pays de la Loire, it's the Mancelle Alps! Well, it must be admitted that the highest peak in the Pays de la Loire (Mont des Avaloirs, 417 metres) has nothing to do with the heights of the Alpine peaks. But in a region of pools and moors, it stands out! The Pays de la Loire region is made up of the departments of Loire-Atlantique, Maine-et-Loire, Mayenne, Vendee and Sarthe. Nantes, the most densely populated city in the region, is the prefecture, but it is not the only agglomeration of interest in the region: Angers and its castle, Le Mans and its medieval district or Laval and its garden are also worth seeing.

From a cultural point of view, the region has been deeply marked by the heritage of the historic provinces of Anjou, Maine and Poitou and the Duchy of Brittany. Moreover, UNESCO made no mistake when it listed the Loire Valley, between Montsoreau and Chalonnes-sur-Loire, as a World Heritage Site. But choosing a holiday rental in the Loire valley also means taking an interest in the culture and the events that abound in the region: the inimitable Folle journee de Nantes, the international Floralies, the Cholet carnival, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Vendee Globe... 

With a 370 km long coastline, two main islands belong to the Pays de la Loire region: Noirmoutier and Yeu. The coastline is divided into several types of terrain, between sand and rocks: 

• The Cote Sauvage (Wild Coast) north of the Loire estuary, 
• The Cote de Lumiere (Light Coast) in Vendee, 
• The Cote de Jade (Jade Coast) between the Loire River and the island of Noirmoutier.

So many landscapes to discover during your stay in your holiday rental in the Pays de la Loire.
