The Centre-Val de Loire region, comprising six departments, has a population of 2.6 million (only 4% of France’s total population), half of whom live along the Loire River. Industry has traditionally played a strong role in the department’s economy, as has farming, particularly staple cereal crops. Although the region has benefited from highly active exporting companies (pharmaceuticals, chemicals and cosmetics), its traditional industries took a hit during the 2008 crisis and, despite recent improvements, unemployment remains a cause for concern.
