Aquitaine
forms a region in south-western France along the Atlantic Ocean.
The Pyrenees mountain range forms the border between Aquitaine
& Spain. Major cities in Aquitaine include Bordeaux, Pau,
Bayonne, Mont-de-Marsan, Biarritz, and Perigueux. Most towns
& villages in France have their own market, and the Aquitaine
area is no exception with most towns selling local produce, fresh
fruit and vegetables. Aquitaine offers something for everyone,
with medieval towns, dramatic beaches & countless vineyards
of award winning grapes. Bordeaux is best known for its wine,
producing around 44 million cases per year. There is bullfighting
at Mont de Marson. |
