Aquitaine - A Heaven of Tranquility
From
the vineyards of Bordeaux to the gentle beauty of the Garonne
Valley, a variety of landscapes awaits you, and some of the
finest wines and brandy in the world. No wonder Aquitaine
is one of the most popular cruising locations.
Situated
in the warm west of France, Aquitaine is blessed with plentiful
sunshine and pleasant breezes. The scenery ranges from vine
covered hillsides to lush woodland and orchard fields.
Cruising along the Garonne valley, the newly restored Baise
river, or the lower Lot provides a truly rewarding experience.
Discover
market squares, Roman remains, fortified towns, ancient mills,
magnificent chateaux and vineyards, together with some outstanding
restaurants and riverside bars and cafes.
If there is one area of France where good living is a tradition,
it is the regions of Aquitaine and Gascony.
The
gastronomic temptations in the region are almost unlimited
- local delicacies such as 'foie gras’ washed down with
the delicious local Buzet or Cahors wines.
Aquitaine offers real peace and beauty.
