Western France

Location verified location Open in map
From the Gironde Estuary to the borders with Brittany, this part of France primarily attracts visitors for its many beaches, seaside resorts, several beautiful islands near the coast (Noirmoutier, Oléron, Ré, etc.), and two major theme parks: Futuroscope and Puy du Fou. In short, the West is first and foremost a relaxation-holiday destination, though culturally, cities like Nantes, La Rochelle, and Angers are well worth a visit.
