Pays-de-la-Loire’s territory stretches over 12,390 square miles––the size of Maryland––at the base of the Brittany peninsula and is France’s second leading agricultural region. A third of its 3.2 million people is under 25, making it a young region. The major cities either straddle the rivers that feed into the Loire or lie along a stretch of Atlantic Coast.
