About the Area
Discovering the Aquitaine (southwest) region of France is to find all that is best of la belle vie. You will experience this unspoilt region that has been populated by human beings for thousands of years. This is the area where the remains of the earliest cave dwellers have been found, and the caves have been preserved and are available to see today.
Most of the chateaux in the region date back to the middle ages when they were used as fortresses during the many wars that plagued the area. The Aquitaine is a treasure of history, excellent wine, food, and breathtakingly beautiful scenery. Staying within its fascinating past is to experience the refinement and joie de vie that the French master so well.
