Head for the Atlantic coast for a trip of your choice of length and mileage, which 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. Why not start out on the inland moors of Niort, before heading for the coast and the superb islands of Ré and Oléron?
There's no shortage of regional specialities to choose from: crus bordelais, cognac, oysters, seafood, foie gras and cannelés will all 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 joys of the Bordeaux region is to enjoy the most beautiful landscapes with the best of French terroir!
