In this region you can take in both stunning Atlantic coastlines and stroll around small traditional towns and villages discovering unspoilt landscapes shaped by the Loire River.
The Pays de Loire region is composed of five departments, two of them are coastal, the Loire Atlantique,home to the busy cruise ship building port of St Nazaire and the Vendee with its long sandy beaches and pine forests.
The other three are inland, the Sarthe with its world famous "Le Mans 24hrs racetrack" and the Mayenne and the Maine et Loire with the Loire valley playing a major role.
The best way to explore the inland Pays de la Loire area is by walking the narrow streets and discovering the many castles, cathedrals and half-timbered houses that make up the scenery. Whilst taking in the sights stop at one of the vineyards and try some of the wine that the region is renowned for.

Overseas campsite bookings can easily be made on the Club website and "combined deals" are common when you book a campsite at the same time as your ferry crossing. Booking online means you save the £20 Contact Centre booking fee.
Yes, deposits for overseas bookings are calculated at 20% for a site and 25% for a ferry (unless it is a non-refundable ferry/Eurotunnel in which case full payment is due at time of booking). The final balance is due 10 weeks prior to travel.
European campsites are star-rated by their own local authorities and can have different standards and regulations to the UK. However, the Club's travel team handpick and inspect our campsites so that members can be sure of a high standard.
The Club's first time abroad section explains everything you need to know about going on your first overseas touring holiday.
