The region is also famed for its gastromonie (truffles, foie gras) and its mild climate.
Aquitaine is rich in architecture - Bordeaux and Bergerac being fine examples, as well as some of the smaller bastide market towns full of old timbered buildings and cafes - perfect for a spot of people watching in the sunshine.
