Nouvelle-Aquitaine SMARTguide

Destinations
Whether it’s culture, nature, adventure, fun, or
epicurean delights, it’s not only possible to find
something for everyone in this region – one is
somewhat overwhelmed by the choice.
In the following pages, we take a closer look at the key
internal destinations that make up this extraordinary
patchwork that is Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
We take you to the city of
Bordeaux and its famed wine
area along the Garonne. The
Dordogne welcomes visitors with
its wild nature and glorious rural
settings. Along the Atlantic
coast and in Biarritz-Pays
Basque, the endless
sandy beaches and dunes
welcome lovers of surf
and sun from around the
globe. The Charente Valley and
Cognac country are more
than just home to the
famed eau-de-vie, but are
also breath-taking in their
natural beauty. When it comes to heady
heights, there are few places to cap the
Pyrenees. The ancient city of Poitiers and
the nearby Futuroscope complement each
other through their contrast. Want to try the best
steak in France? The Limousin will not let you down. And
as a place to relax at the end of an epic journey, the Marais
Poitevin is just right.
Something for everyone? More than that – there’s plenty for
everyone.
