The Loire Valley / Maine-et-Loire region
The Loire valley particularly here, in the south of the région enjoys what the locals call " la douceur angevine" (the gentleness of Anjou).
Summers tend to be dry and hot ; also it is a perfect place to combine a wine tour; so wine tasting can be arranged if you wish.
Music festivals abound here in summer. You can take in a jazz café in Saumur or Bach in one of many venuues.
Consider also combining the exploration of the region's chateaux with a gastronomic meal for an extra special day out. Wonderful beaches are a couple of hours away
