Holiday Rentals in Loire-Atlantique - A Guide to Loire-Atlantique
The departement of Loire-Atlantique is situated on the west coast of France and is named after the Loire river and Atlantic ocean. It forms part of the region Pays de la Loire.
If you are driving to your holiday rental in Loire-Atlantique, the major French ports are all a reasonable drive, with Caen, Le Havre and Cherbourg being the closest. If you prefer not to drive to your Loire-Atlantique holiday rentals, then you may consider the high speed TGV train which runs from Paris to Nantes in a little over 2 hours.
Alternatively you may prefer to fly, and if so, you will be pleased to know that the largest airport in north-west France, Nantes, is situated in the department, offering flights from the UK with Ryanair. Other nearby airports offering flights with low cost airlines from the UK include Rennes and Angers.
Types of Holiday Rentals in Loire-Atlantique
The most popular types of holiday rentals are houses to rent in Loire-Atlantique. I came across a very stylish 3 bedroom house to rent in Le Pallet. The house has 3 bathrooms and sleeps up to 6 people. There is a fully equipped kitchen, and the house benefits from a DVD player, TV and even a concierge! Outside there is a terrace with a barbeque, and there is also access to a swimming pool.
One thing you will discover with Loire-Atlantique houses to rent is that there are some beautiful large chateaux and country houses available, and if you are travelling as a large party or have a special celebration, this is a great and luxurious way to do it. Sharing the cost amongst several couples or a few families makes these properties highly affordable.
One such house to rent in Loire-Atlantique is a beach house I saw in Le Croisic on the Cote Sauvage. It’s an imposing looking and rather grand property which sits on a cliff top just 500m from the nearest sandy beach, and 10 minutes walk from the harbour, shops and marina. The property itself has 7 bedrooms and sleeps up to 13 guests. There is 1 bathroom, 5 shower rooms and 4 separate toilets. There is a fully equipped kitchen and a large dual aspect living and dining area with an open fireplace and stunning sea views.
This beautiful house in an amazing location would make for a really fabulous holiday. These are just two examples of the types of available houses to rent in Loire-Atlantique, and no matter what sort of property and location you are looking for, you are sure to find something to suit.
