Why this site? 

This site was designed to inspire different ways of traveling in Nouvelle-Aquitaine and prove that more virtuous tourism is within everyone’s reach.
Our ambitions: 

  • Give ideas and inspire visits to discover what our destinations offer
  • Show concrete alternatives to “traveling far away,” equally enriching in terms of memories
  • Convince that staying in Nouvelle-Aquitaine means experiencing vacations connected to living things and focused on what’s essential
  • Encourage everyone to become an agent of change

WHO ARE WE?  

The Nouvelle-Aquitaine Regional Tourism Committee, an agency of the Regional Council, is the organization responsible for tourism development and promotion in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, in France and internationally.

Because we place sustainable development at the heart of our missions, our goal is to make Nouvelle-Aquitaine an exemplary destination where tourism rhymes with respect for our territory and its inhabitants.

We want Nouvelle-Aquitaine to shine as a modern and committed destination and convince you that staying with us is a promise of escape, choosing vacations connected to living things, inviting a return to essentials: feeling, reconnecting with yourself and nature, creating bonds and moments of sharing.

We ensure that our content, both on this site and on our social networks and campaigns:

  • Relay responsible offers carried by committed actors. We favor certified providers 
  • Promote soft mobility: trips accessible without a car, train routes, public transport 
  • Highlight inclusive accommodations and activities, accessible to all and affordable 
  • Showcase protected natural areas and best practices to preserve them 
  • Offer experiences that foster reconnection with yourself, others and nature 
  • Recommend places to consume local products and discover artisan craftsmanship 
  • Integrate educational content to spread simple and accessible eco-friendly practices 

Each piece of content reflects the idea that traveling responsibly means preserving today to better enjoy tomorrow, but also means experiencing unforgettable moments by living vacations differently.

Each featured trip has been designed to have a positive impact on the territory and its inhabitants.

Holidays for everyone

To inspire, facilitate organizing a responsible trip to Nouvelle-Aquitaine and demonstrate the feasibility of traveling differently, we invite you to discover the region’s committed offerigs through: 

  • Inspirational Stays: they offer a range of responsible experiences and activities for everyone. You have a unique accommodation and explore around a destination;
  • Inspirational itineraries: they offer several stops to set down your bags. These are creations by CRT Nouvelle-Aquitaine. Just as inspiring as other stays, the difference lies only in the itinerant aspect (loop or linear). They may suggest ideas where a car is necessary but in a reasoned way.

Through this site, we want to surprise you and guide you toward unexpected and memorable experiences.

We are convinced that:

  • Escape and adventure are often within reach, and that a territory’s inhabitants should be its first ambassadors
  • Nouvelle-Aquitaine is full of treasures to explore to experience authentic experiences adapted to diverse desires

We will ensure to raise your awareness of the fragility of this common heritage and the need to preserve it. 

More broadly, we invite all travelers, from here and elsewhere, to join us in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, because we believe in tourism as a creator of encounters, a vector of dialogue and mutual understanding, beyond cultural and linguistic differences. 

We put our expertise at the service of creating quality and respectful experiences, to offer you inspiration and tools to travel more sustainably, while fully enjoying the richness and diversity of the region.
