Trip Summary

Attractively situated on islands in the estuary of France's mighty Loire River, the city of Nantes exudes an air of importance and historical significance. It's home to the restored, medieval Château des Ducs de Bretagne, where the Dukes of Brittany once lived. The castle is now a local history museum with multimedia exhibits, as well as a walkway atop its fortified ramparts. Today, this wealthy industrial port is home to high-tech industries and a large student population.

3 nights in Pays de la Loire (Loire Valley)

The Pays de la Loire area of Loire Valley is known as the 'valley of the kings' due to its royal past and the legacy of châteaux, abbeys, romantic churches, and manor houses. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling countryside, a stunning coastline and salt marshes, boasting many quiet and charming rural villages and towns. Main points include Le Mans-Laval, Saumur/Fontevraud, Angers, and the very popular city of Nantes, all the way to the Peninsula of Guerande and the mighty Atlantic Ocean.
