Nantes is the capital of the Loire-Atlantique region and the prefecture of the Pays de la Loire region. It is also the sixth most populous city in France. Chosen as the capital by the Dukes of Brittany to build their castle in the 15th century, Nantes was initially a medieval fortress. Nowadays, Nantes has been awarded the City of Art and History label and combines the old and the new with harmony. Take a stroll around the Bouffay district to admire the old timber-framed houses, and the superb covered gallery of the Passage Pommeraye. Stop to appreciate the Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul cathedral and its immense glass roof. Finally, children and adults alike will appreciate the Machines de l'île, a unique exhibition space where wooden and steel animals are staged.

It is in the Brière Regional Natural Park that these 3000 thatched houses can be found. They are spread over the islands of the park, notably the island of Férdrun. It is also the ideal place for nature walks. By bike, on horseback, on foot, in a canoe or even by barge, the second largest marsh in France offers you incredible encounters with nature thanks to a large fauna, moustached tits, avocets and other egrets will no longer hold any secrets for you!

La Baule is above all a bay among the most beautiful in the world. It is 9 kilometres long and links Pornichet to Le Pouliguen.
