Heritage Exploration

From the Lascaux caves and Limoges porcelain to Bordeaux canelés, the Abbey of Saint-Savin, Angoulême’s painted walls and Basque polyphonic singing…
More than a simple visit, each discovery is an invitation to immerse yourself in a heritage that shapes the present and inspires the future. By exploring the heritage of Nouvelle-Aquitaine, we invite you to enrich your own story through ours.

When Holidays Bring Us Together

Heritage brings people together, inspires and resonates

Listen closely: the ancient stones of Nouvelle-Aquitaine have so much to tell.
Here, heritage is not just visited: it is experienced. Every village square, every fresco, every carved stone tells a collective story, shared and passed down through generations.

From troglodyte dwellings to medieval bastide towns, from living museums to artisans who keep ancestral skills alive, regional heritage is discovered in the present moment, with family, friends or solo.

Step into a workshop in Aubusson and pause for a moment in front of the creations at the International City of Tapestry. Here, threads tell legends. Let yourself be captivated by the scale of the tapestries before heading into a workshop where you learn that weaving is also about passing on knowledge.

Wander through the narrow streets of the bastide towns of southwest France. The atmosphere is relaxed, arcades shelter food shops and craft boutiques, and central squares invite you to sit back and watch the rhythm of local life unfold. A gentle immersion into the daily life of both yesterday and today.
