France Travel

By European standards France is fairly large and if your time is limited as is your money, you should focus your attention on one or two specific regions. Each one of the seven French regions is very different from its neighbor and each possesses its own distinct beauty. They are, however, all equally deserving of your visit.

The Western Region of France

Normandy is where the Anglo-Saxon heritage was formed and it offers visitors many miles of diverse coastline and an abundantly flourishing countryside.

Brittany exhibits a wide assortment of megaliths, castles, manors, chapels, old villages and giant boulders extending from the coast to the countryside. Brittany is purported to sum up the entire French way of life.

Poitou Charente enjoys a mild climate, three hundred miles of soft sandy beaches and sweet-smelling pine forests. With an average of 2,250 hours of sunshine per year, Poitou Charente is the sunniest part of Western France.
Loire Valley awes its visitors with matchless innate beauty of countless streams, regal oak trees and an abundant green countryside.

Western Loire Valley has always been favored by royalty who constructed splendid castles, glorious chateaux, impressive abbeys and marvelous mansions through the entire area. Many of these breathtaking structures are open to the public. Western Loire Valley also includes nearly two hundred miles of sandy beaches along the Atlantic coastline, many bays and small islands as well as the Loire River that flows through its rich countryside.
