Between winds and vineyards
Head for the Atlantic coast for a two-week journey that promises to combine history, the pleasures of the sea, great vintages and unforgettable landscapes. Between La Rochelle, a thousand-year-old port, and Bordeaux, the city of wine, there's a world to discover. Alternate between land and sea, according to your desires and the shape of your day. Start out in the inland moors of Niort, before heading for the coast and the superb islands of Ré and Oléron.
There's no shortage of regional specialties to choose from: crus bordelais, cognac, oysters, seafood, foie gras and cannelés will all be on the menu during your stay. We'll save a breathtaking finale for you at the Bassin d'Arcachon, a magnificent lagoon that will take your breath away from the top of the Dune du Pilat and its 60 million cubic meters of sand! To experience the happiness of the Bordeaux region is to enjoy the most beautiful landscapes with the best of French terroir!
