Where life is good...

In the Southwest of France, there is the Aquitaine region... It is called "the region of wide open spaces" because everything there is immense.

250 kilometres of fine sandy beaches, the largest lakes in France (Hourtin and Cazaux), the highest dune (Pyla), the biggest pine forest in Europe (the Landes) and the greatest vineyard in the world (that of Bordeaux in the Gironde).
The quality of the natural environment, the variety of the soils and the wealth of the cultural and architectural heritage.

BORDEAUX is a stylish city with a lively cosmopolitan air and some of the best examples of 18th-century architecture in the whole of France,it is in the heart of the justly famed Bordeaux wine region.Discover it!

Hi Elena, Carol are thinking France will be our next trip to Europe and are looking for a spot in the French countryside to spend a week or so. Aquitaine is a possibility. Need to explore more. Thanx...Tom
