Centre and Pays de Loire regions in the Loire Valley

The Centre and Pays de Loire regions share the same tourist identity: the Loire Valley, a coherent destination along the river that transcends administrative boundaries. They share their promotional tools and invite visitors to extend their stay from the gates of Paris to the Ocean. Since 2010, the Loire Valley has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its living cultural landscapes over a distance of 280 km between Sully-sur-Loire east of Orléans and Chalonnes-sur-Loire southwest of Angers. While the legendary river is the structuring natural element, the territories of the Loire Valley also share other riches:

- The Castles of the Loire

- Loire wines

- The Loire by Bike
