Cheap flights to Pays de la Loire

Castles, vineyards, medieval towns and a rugged coastline: that's Pays de la Loire in western France. With flights to this region, you'll discover one of the most versatile areas of the country. From vibrant Nantes to the historic Loire Valley — you'll never be bored!

The Pays de la Loire Region

Pays de la Loire is a region where nature and culture go hand in hand. The Loire river, the longest in France, flows through the heart of the region and has shaped a landscape of castles and vineyards. The capital Nantes is a vibrant city with a rich industrial past and a modern cultural scene. Visit the Castle of the Dukes of Brittany and wander through the charming streets of the Bouffay quarter.

The Loire Valley is known as the 'Garden of France' and is rightfully listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The famous castles — such as Château de Chambord, Château de Chenonceau and Château d'Angers — testify to the grandeur of the French Renaissance. In Angers, you'll find the impressive Apocalypse Tapestry, the largest medieval tapestry in the world.

Along the coast, the Côte de Jade awaits with its wide sandy beaches, while the Brière marshland is a unique nature area where you can sail through the waterways in a traditional flat-bottomed boat. Enjoy regional cuisine with bercot (oysters), muscadet wine and fresh crêpes. Book your flights to Pays de la Loire at CheapTickets.nl!
