AQUITAINE
Aquitaine is a region with a wealth of beautiful sites. Why not choose it as the destination for your next holiday? 250km of ocean coastline and a beach which stretches from the Médoc to the north of the Gironde to the Basque coast, stopped only by the Arcachon Basin (the longest fine sandy beach in Europe). Many famous seaside resorts and marinas to visit. Let's add to that 500km of banks along lakes, estuaries and other water bodies in an unspoiled natural setting, with diverse fauna and flora.Those who love the mountains will be delighted to come to Aquitaine, as the region is bordered by the Pyrenees to the south. The history of Aquitaine, the cradle of humanity (homo erectus settled in the Vézère valley in the Dordogne 400,000 years ago), is intimately linked with the history of France, which means that it is of major importance as far as cultural and historical heritage are concerned. Its religious heritage is remarkable. Worth mentioning are the route of Santiago de Compostella and the papal city of Avignon.Discover the wealth of gastronomic delights the region has to offer by sampling regional specialities such as the poule au pot, a Béarnaise recipe, or duck from the South-West. Gourmets and those who love fine food are guaranteed to find something to tickle their taste buds in Gascogne.
Whether for a spot of culture, an outdoors holiday, culinary break, sporting holiday, romantic getaway or a break with family or friends, Aquitaine will meet all your needs.
