Regions of France: The Northwest
Terri December 7th, 2007
Rich with history, the Northwest Region of France’s unique culture and landscape bear the markings of centuries of struggles, triumphs, and glories. Rolling hillsides are accentuated by flowing rivers and rocky cliffs. Towering cathedrals and elegant 
chateaux are this region’s jewels of the past. This region holds the smaller regions of Brittany, Normandy and the Loire, which includes Pays de la Loire, hugging the Atlantic shore, and Center-Val de Loire, home to most of the region’s famed chateaux.
Brittany’s jutting peninsula is home to sandy beaches, massive rocky cliffs, and quaint sea port towns bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and English Channel.
