1. Surf in Biarritz

Biarritz is a town very close to the Spanish border. In fact, its name, with a clearly Basque semantic root, is because it belongs to the historical territory known as the French Basque Country. In any case, it has magnificent beaches where, when it is windy, fantastic waves appear for surfing. But it would be bad if we didn't mention our villas in South West France.

Gironde the second-largest French department after Guyana. Specifically, it rises next to the confluence between the river Dordogne and the Garonne, by which it is crossed. At this time, visitors can, for a modest price, sail its waters in tourist boats that even offer gala dinners accompanied by music.

Bordeaux, as the city where some of the world's best wines have been produced for three centuries, is full of establishments where you can have a drink and enjoy the exquisite atmosphere of the city. This luxury tastes even better accompanied by a good dinner consisting of duck meat dishes, also typical of the region.

4. Enjoy a day of hiking in Bergerac

Bergerac, the city that gave the surname to Cyrano, one of the most important French writers of the 17th century who, by the way, never set foot in the city and who was turned into a character in the most famous play by Edmond Rostand, is one of the best-known enclaves of Aquitaine for lovers of hiking.
