Loire-Atlantique is a French department, located in the Pays de la Loire region. It owes its name to the presence of the Loire, an important river which crosses it, and the Atlantic Ocean, which borders its coast to the west, where the mouth of the Loire forms an estuary. The department of Loire-Atlantique was created in 1790, from the dismemberment of the Province of Brittany, at the start of the French Revolution, in application of the law of December 22, 1789. When it was created in 1790, the department was named Loire-Inférieure. The creation of departments aims to eliminate the provinces of the Ancien Régime, and leads to the establishment of new entities. The territorial division was the subject of negotiations. Rennes having obtained that Redon be attached to the department of which it will become the capital, Vannes demands in exchange La Roche-Bernard and six rural parishes. In return, the Assembly grants the people of Nantes the barony of Châteaubriant and the viscounty of Fercé, which contain eleven parishes. The “borders” of the “countries” are imprecise in the east. La Remaudière and La Boissière-du-Doré are included in the same department as Nantes without historical reason, and without consultation of the inhabitants. Finally, the department took back almost the entire Breton part of the territory of the former bishopric of Nantes, receiving a small part of the south from the bishopric of Rennes, and losing part of the Mitau country, to the northwest, the canton of La Roche-Bernard attached to Morbihan and that of Grand-Fougeray attached to Ille-et-Vilaine. Main cities: Nantes, Saint-Nazaire, Châteaubriant, Varades... The Loiret department is a French department located about a hundred kilometers south of Paris. It is part of the Centre-Val de Loire region. The history of Loiret, as an administrative entity, begins on December 22, 1789 with a decree of the Constituent Assembly, which came into force a few months later, on Mars 4, 1790. It is made up of part of the former provinces of Orléanais and Berry. Main cities: Orléans, Olivet, Fleury-les-Aubrais, Saint-Jean-de-Braye, Saint-Jean-de-la-ruelle, Saran, Gien, Montargis, Châlette-sur-Loing, Amilly ...Professional in the sale (and passionate) of historical and geographical engravings, I will ship your purchase with the greatest care as I myself would like to receive it.
