Volailles d'Ancenis is poultry from the French regions of Loire-Atlantique and Maine-et-Loire. The region has a tradition of poultry-breeding from the 19th century, where the meat was traded around the Ancenis market. The meat is firm and tasty, of an excellent quality, and has a high reputation throughout France because the animals are reared in the open air and feed on cereals, minerals and vitamins.
