'''Pays de la Loire''' ({{IPA-fr|pe.i də la lwaʁ}}; {{lang-br|Broioù al Liger}}) adalah salah satu di antara 18 [[regions of France|wilayah di Prancis]] yang didirikan pada [[dasawarsa]] 1950-an. Wilayah ini dijuluki sebagai ''"balancing metropolises"'' (''métropoles d'équilibre'')[[#Notes|¹]].

Pays de la Loire terbentuk dari provinsi-provinsi bersejarah berikut ini:
* Bagian dari [[Brittany]], yang dahulu beribu kota di [[Nantes]], terdiri dari departemen [[Loire-Atlantique]]. Sejarah wilayah ini hanya dipengaruhi 20% oleh [[Britania]]. 80% sejarah Britania lainnya berpengaruh kepada [[Brittany (administrative region)|wilayah administrasi Britania]].
* [[Anjou]]: sebagaian besar terdiri dari departemen [[Maine-et-Loire]]; seluruh bekas provinsi Anjou berada masuk dalam dalam Pays de la Loire.
* [[Maine (province)|Maine]]: sekarang terbagi antara departemen [[Mayenne]] dan departemen [[Sarthe]]; seluruh bekas provinsi Maine masuk dalam Pays de la Loire.
* Sebagian dari [[Poitou]]: terdiri dari departemen [[Vendée]]; kebanyakan provinsi lama Poitou berada dalam wilayah [[Poitou-Charentes]].
* Sebagian dari [[Perche]]: is within the northeast of [[Sarthe]] department; the rest of Perche is inside the [[Basse-Normandie]] and [[Centre (France)|Centre]] regions.
* Small part of [[Touraine]]: southeast of [[Maine-et-Loire]] department; most of the former province of Touraine is inside the Centre region.

Jadi, nama wilayah ini dipilih oleh pemerintah pusat Prancis, yang berbasis dari sejarah, tetapi sejatinya merujuk kepada wilayah geografis: ''[[Pays (France)|Pays]]'' ("lands") ''de la Loire'' ("of the [[Loire]]"). Mayoritas [[châteaux of the Loire Valley]] berlokasi di wilayah ''[[Centre-Val de Loire]]'' dan bukan di ''Pays de la Loire''.

''Pays de la Loire'' memiliki beberapa monumen menonjol antara lain [[kastel]] [[Angers]], [[Laval]], dan [[Mayenne]], dan [[Nantes]] [[Château des ducs de Bretagne|Château des Ducs de Bretagne]], The Royal [[Fontevraud Abbey]] (the widest monastic ensemble in Europe), dan kota lama [[Le Mans]]. Sebagai tambahan, juga memiliki taman alami seperti [[Brière]] dan [[Marais Poitevin|Marsh of Poitou]].
