aquitaine
France's south west corner is full of contrasts; sunny vineyards sidle up to the Pyrénées mountains and life is one long beach, 270km of toasty sand to be precise, along with a multitude of vineyards and sprawling pine forests.

The Aquitaine region knows a thing or two about variety, so I feel confident about saying there is something here for everyone, from medieval towns to dramatic beaches to countless vineyards of award winning grapes.
We've picked out four places in Aquitaine that we think are worth visiting. It's only our opinion though, so we won't be offended if you think somewhere else should be included. Just let us know, so we can perhaps put it on this website. Unless you want to keep it to yourself, of course!
