Aquitaine
(South West of France)
The picture-postcard scenery of the Aquitaine region in South West France has inspired artists for generations and is a delight to visit. Here, good living is a traditional way of life and the vine-covered hillsides, orchards of fruit and fields of corn signify a land of plenty.
Regional specialities include foie gras, truffles and wild mushrooms while the famous vineyards of Margaux, Pauillac, Saint Emillion, Graves and Medoc provide delicious wines to accompany your meals.
NEW for 2008
Cruising through the Garonne valley you’ll discover medieval market squares, ancient Bastide towns, Mooresque châteaux, aqueducts and arched roman bridges, while our new base at Montauban opens up cruising routes on the River Tarn.
On the River Baïse enjoy stunning scenery and delightful waterside villages such as Vianne, Nérac and Condom tempt you ashore for lazy lunches and afternoon strolls through their quaint cobbled streets.
Come and see for yourself why cruising in Aquitaine offers everything for a gourmet cruise and much more besides.
