 Informaties over de streek
Bordered along the whole of its west coast by the Atlantic Ocean, Aquitaine is bathed in a mild oceanic climate with the influence of the Gulf Stream.
The Aquitaine coast has been carefully safeguarded against excessive urbanisation. Between the region’s famous seaside resorts, there are 250 km of coastline offering sandy beaches for surfing, relaxing, or enjoying a thalassotherapy session.
Between the Atlantic coast to the west and the Quercy hills to the east, the Landes plains form a triangle of 14,000 km2 with the Pointe de Grave, Bayonne and Nérac as its three points. Its flat terrain makes it ideal for cycling.
But that’s not all: Aquitaine also offers a superb playground for hikers, skiers, white-water enthusiasts or lovers of breathtaking views.
The Pyrenees form France’s natural border with Spain. In Aquitaine, they are mainly the Pyrénées Atlantiques, climbing slowly away from the ocean through the Basque Country and the Béarn region.
The Pyrenees National Park is a particularly well-preserved haven for you to observe the flora and fauna on a hike or from the Artouste train.
