The Loire is the longest river in France.

It rises in the Cévennes in the département of Ardèche at 1,350 m near Mont Gerbier de Jonc, and flows for over 1,000 km north through Nevers to Orléans, then west through Tours and Nantes until it reaches the Bay of Biscay at St Nazaire.

What is important about Loire river in France?

La Loire (fem.) is France longest river (1013 km), and is running entirely into France. It runs through major towns: Orléans, Tours, Nantes and empties into the Atlantic Ocean. The Loire river is not as navigable as the Seine river, because of its very irregular flow. Its basin depends for a large part from the snowy region of the Massif Central, and the flow is greatly reduced during summer. (These days dams which were created along the river and its subsidiaries greatly reduces winter overflowing and summer shortages).The Loire valley around Tours is lined with beautiful renaissance castles and the area was granted World Heritage status.
