 An
immense line of golden sandy beaches, bastides and châteaux,
an abundance of vineyards, mountains and countryside – that’s
Aquitaine.

A few oysters washed down with a dry white wine
in the Arcachon bay, pipérade and Irouléguy rosé,
the wild Basque countryside as a backdrop, scrambled eggs with truffles
in Périgord, confit de canard in a bastide in Lot-et-Garonne
or an Armagnac savoured in Chalosse… There’s no doubt
about it, Aquitaine enjoys the good life. Its inhabitants are almost
spoilt… but they know how to make the most of nature’s
gifts. The Atlantic breakers are a paradise for surfers, drawing
professional competitors from all over the world to Lacanau, Hossegor
and Biarritz; hikers have a huge choice of locations, from the gentle
Landes inclines and the passes in the Pyrenees; while fans of rafting
and canyoning enjoy the thrills of launching into the mountain streams.
You can do anything in Aquitaine – as long as you live life
to the full! |
