Ferry travellers given reasons to see Pays de la Loire

People yet to decide where they will take their holiday this year have been offered five reasons why they should catch cross channel ferries to visit the Pays de la Loire region of France.

According to the local tourist board, one of the destination's most attractive attributes is its Atlantic coastline, which boasts many long, sandy beaches that provide plenty of opportunities for watersports.

Running through the heart of the region is the Loire river, which is lined by historic towns and chateaux and can be explored by following the dedicated cycle paths that run alongside it.

Another reason for people to catch cross channel ferries to explore Pays de la Loire, according to the local tourist board, is the good food and drink, with a range of local wines available to be combined with seafood, salads, cheeses and more.

People with an interest in history can visit destinations such as Fontevraud Abbey, Le Mans and Saumur, each of which has its own fascinating story to tell.

The Pays de la Loire region is located in north-west France, meaning it can be reached by sailing with Brittany Ferries from Portsmouth to St Malo or using the LD Lines ferry crossing from Portsmouth to Le Havre.
