Loire-Atlantique, a place full of surprises !

Loire-Atlantic is located between Vendée to the south and Morbihan to the north. Water is the département's key element : the Loire runs though it, the Atlantic borders it and estuary links the river with the ocean...
aufildeleau_littoral1The département is split from east to west by the spine of the loire, runnig for 110km (68 miles). This separation distributes forest, fields, shale and salate to the north ; vines, tiles and bricks to the south.
The 133km (33 miles) of the coast have a thousand faces : from long beaches of fine sand ti intimate little inlets, from cliffs to dunes covered with maritime pines.
