Live the good life in the "Sud-Ouest" : "Douce France", unspoilt scenery, rolling countryside and a prime destination for foodies whether you're flying solo or with friends or family!
The "Sud-Ouest Authentique" is the epitome of a countryside that flourishes all year round, where you can live the good life in France and soak up its art de vivre. The land is rooted in the strong local identity and warm and friendly hospitality that South West France is famous for.
This is a land where mankind and nature live together in harmony, a land for new experiences and encounters, a land with everything you could wish for from slow tourism: switch down a gear, live among the locals, be part of a community, recharge your batteries, experience the real France, do your bit for the environment and use local businesses during your break.
The destination is your ticket to explore the region’s iconic châteaux and bastides (fortified towns), set sail on its rivers and canals on a boating holiday or go on a cycling break along its Canal des 2 Mers or Véloroute de la Vallée de la Baïse bike paths.
Saddle up and follow in the hoof prints of the most famous musketeer on the D’Artagnan Horse Riding Trail or soak up the buzzing atmosphere at the biggest festivals such as Jazz in Marciac, Garorock in Marmande and Montauban en Scènes.
Lands bursting with traditions and fantastic produce: Côtes de Gascogne, Buzet and Fronton wine, Floc de Gascogne, foie gras, Agen prunes, Noir de Bigorre pork, Armagnac, Lectoure and Quercy melons, Chasselas de Moissac grapes, strawberries, honey, fruit juice, Marmande tomatoes and many more local delicacies that take pride of place at our markets.
The producers tell the story of the land, its orchards and unspoilt rolling landscapes. Prepare for an explosion of flavour with a whole host of mouth-watering local produce.
