Attractively situated on islands in the estuary of France's mighty Loire River, the solid city of Nantes exudes an air of importance and historical significance. It is a wealthy industrial port, its architectural heritage reflecting its past achievements, from the medieval remnants in the narrow streets of pedestrianised Bouffay. Many famous people, from Molière to Stendhal, have lived here. Nantes is now home to high-tech industries, it has some 30,000 college students.
Visit St. Peters' and St. Pauls' Cathedral, The Arts Museum, Château des ducs de Bretagne, Jules Verne Museum, Jardin des Plantes, and more!
3 nights in Angers
Angers, a historic city in western France and the capital of the province of Anjou, is full of sights and activities. From touring the châteaux to a unique twist on a botanical garden, to winery tours. Angers is an impossibly beautiful city awash with renaissance architecture. This opulence was the perk of being the capital of Anjou, a historical province ruled by dukes and counts who wielded serious power in medieval times.
Visit The Chateau d'Angers, Terra Botanica, Cathedral Saint Maurice dAngers, Musee des Beaux Arts, Musee Jean Lurcat, Galerie David d'Angers, The Museum of Natural Science and much more.
3 nights in Saumur
Nestled between the Loire and Thouet Rivers, beautiful Saumur sits amongst acres of vineyards and farmland, close to many beautiful châteaux. A Loire Valley gem for foodies and history buffs, the town is famously home to the National Cavalry School.
Visit The Château de Saumur, National School of Horse Riding, Museum of Decorative Arts and Horse Museum, Old Town, and so much more!
