    Questions/Answers about traveling in Southwest and Aquitaine

    Aquitaine and the South West represent a vast region that enjoys beautiful sunshine. Discover this area by bike or on foot, from spring to autumn. Whether you are following the Garonne River, the Gironde Estuary, the Atlantic Coast, exploring the Bordeaux vineyards, the Basque Country, the Black Périgord, or the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage routes, the experience is beautiful. The climate near the coast is oceanic, with temperatures remaining mild even in winter and hot summers. The Basque Country is characterized by higher humidity, and the Pyrenees have a mountain-type climate. Summer is the sunniest period, the best for swimming, and naturally the most crowded. More peaceful, spring awakens the senses with the rebirth of nature, and autumn is the time for grape harvesting, mushrooms, and the appearance of stunning colors enhancing the landscapes.

    The region is vast and rich in places to explore. The sites and landscapes to discover are varied, with cities and villages with a rich heritage, beaches, dunes, pine forests and the ocean, forests and mountains. You can explore Bordeaux and its vineyards, the Arcachon Basin and the Dune du Pilat, Les Landes with its pine forests and seaside resorts, the Basque Country and the Pyrenees, the Dordogne Valley, with its castles and the Lascaux Cave

    If you are a lover of good food and enjoy gastronomic and oenological experiences, the region has a lot to offer with Bordeaux and South-West wines, the cuisine of Périgord and the Landes coast, for example. 

    For hiking enthusiasts seeking a rejuvenating experience and history, you can choose from various Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage routes. There’s also Charente Maritime with La Rochelle and Île de Ré, or cycling escapades on the Vélodyssée, along the Canal de la Garonne, or on the Flow Vélo from Thiviers to Rochefort.
