Anetz (pronounced "an-ETZ") was a small town, also known as a commune, located in western France. It was part of the Loire-Atlantique area. On January 1, 2016, Anetz joined with another commune to form a new, larger town called Vair-sur-Loire. This means Anetz is no longer a separate commune on its own.
