Head to the Atlantic coast for a journey of any length and distance you choose, promising a blend of history, seaside fun, fine wines, and unforgettable scenery. Between La Rochelle, a port with a thousand-year history, and Bordeaux, the city of wine, there’s a whole world to discover. Alternate between land and sea, depending on your mood and how you feel that day. Why not start in the inland Landes region in Niort before heading to the coast and its stunning islands of Ré and Oléron?
There’s no shortage of regional specialties: Bordeaux wines, cognac, oysters, seafood, foie gras, and cannelés will be on the menu during your stay. If you’re up for it, treat yourself to a breathtaking finale at the Arcachon Basin, a magnificent lagoon that will take your breath away from the top of the Dune du Pilat with its 60 million cubic meters of sand! Experiencing the joy of the Bordeaux region means savoring the most beautiful landscapes alongside the finest French local specialties!
