What does a typical gourmet day in Nouvelle-Aquitaine look like? It starts at the morning market, on the central square of a bastide town or along the streets of a medieval village. The warm colours of the stone buildings echo those of the market stalls, while the local accent hints at the porcini mushroom fricassee you might prepare later during a cooking workshop.
If you prefer to sit back andlet others cook, simply choose a table with a view! A rustic oyster hut to taste fresh shellfish straight from the sea, a casual restaurant where a young chef celebrates local produce and short supply chains, or a Michelin-starred table set in the heart of a vineyard, pairing regional dishes with exceptional wines.
Another delicious idea: explore the Bordeaux vineyards by bike. Pedalling between vines and châteaux offers a different way to experience one of the world’s most celebrated wine regions — combining landscapes, heritage and tasting moments along the way.

In Nouvelle-Aquitaine, experiences are meant to be lived together—whether in the joy of big moments or the simplicity of everyday life. An open-air concert, a workshop with an artisan, a stroll through charming villages, or an afternoon of family activities… Human connection is always at the heart of the journey.
Here, we nurture conviviality, celebrate local cultures, and weave memories together.
