Popular all year round for its mild climate, the beauty of its landscapes and its many activities, the Gironde is a destination of choice.
From the mouth of the estuary to the gateway to the Landes, the Gironde coastline with its ocean beaches, its large lakes and the Arcachon basin is already revealed in contrast.
Its Atlantic coast is an immense ribbon of fine sand which runs from Cap-Ferret to the Verdon. Travel through the Landes forest as well as the banks of the Gironde which are the domain of plaice fishermen but also prestigious wine castles and some jewels of Romanesque and Gothic architecture.
The Bassin d’Arcachon has managed to keep its oyster farming traditions intact. It is full of sublime landscapes, often breathtaking like the famous dune of Pilat. At the Pointe de Grave stands, in the middle of the ocean, the Cordouan lighthouse, the oldest in Europe. At the heart of this territory, Bordeaux is listed as a World Heritage Site by Unesco.
The Bordeaux region being one of the most beautiful regions of French vineyards, a wine tasting among the 57 appellations in the region will undoubtedly be part of your stay. Savor the Médocs to the Saint-Émilion via the Graves, the Sauternes during a guided excursion. Châteaux Yquem, Margaux, Mouton Rotschild, Haut-Brion and others are renowned throughout the world.
