Between La Rochelle, a thousand-year-old port, and Bordeaux, a city of wine, there is a whole world to discover. Alternate between land and sea, depending on your mood and how you feel on the day. Why not start in the inland moors of Niort before heading to the coast and its beautiful islands of Ré and Oléron?
There is no shortage of regional specialties: Bordeaux wines, cognac, oysters, seafood, foie gras, and cannelés will be on the menu during your stay. If you feel like it, enjoy a breathtaking finale at the Arcachon basin, 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 joy of the Bordeaux region is to appreciate the most beautiful landscapes with the best of French terroir!
