Pays de la Loire closes the corridor's western branch: beyond Bordeaux the A83/A87 carry freight into Nantes, about 990 km from our Barcelona hub, with Angers, Le Mans and Cholet fanning out along the A11/A85. LTL groupage delivers across the region in 2-3 days.

The region mixes heavy industry with agri-food: aeronautics and shipbuilding around Saint-Nazaire pull large industrial components, the Choletais keeps a manufacturing and consumer-goods base, and the Loire valley moves ambient food and wine through Nantes and Angers distributors. Western drops ride the same three-per-week corridor departures as the rest of France.
Nantes, Angers, Le Mans, Saint-Nazaire and Cholet — the five poles of the region's freight map, all within the 2-3 days groupage band on the western routing.

Aerostructure and shipyard suppliers around Saint-Nazaire and Nantes map to our industrial-machinery service; ambient food, wine and consumer goods for the Loire distributors use the food and beverage lane.
Nantes receives groupage in 2-3 days over the roughly 990 km western routing via Toulouse and Bordeaux. Departures are corridor-level, three per week, and western-branch freight loads on the same rotation as the Bordeaux drops.
Palletised and standard-dimension industrial freight, yes — that is the bulk of supplier traffic into the Saint-Nazaire aero and shipyard ring. Genuinely out-of-gauge project cargo needs a separate feasibility check before we commit, so flag dimensions when you request the quote.
All five départements: 44, 49, 53, 72 and 85. From Saint-Nazaire on the coast to Le Mans inland, every delivery point under these prefixes prices as standard regional coverage.
