There's a great selection of self catering cottages in Western Loire. A week or two here will give you a real feel for French living, especially if you stock up on local produce at the markets for picnics and eating-in. This diverse region offers ancient centres such as Mayenne and Laval, resorts such as Les Sables d'Olonne with its zoo, golf course and marina, and the chateaux at Angers and Saumur. There are fascinating troglodyte sites to explore such as Rochemenier, the Cointreau distillery in Angers and a host of museums in St Nazaire, not forgetting the region's wine producers for tastings and purchase.
