Aquitaine What to Expect

Here's the story I was told about Biarritz by our French bus driver back in 2000. Some French teens went to the US as exchange students in the late 1950's,early '60s to California and took up the art/sport of surfing...Now there are Surf shops in Biarritz amongst the expensive seaside homes and American kids get a kick seeing people in their 60s surfing the Atlantic ocean off of Biarritz. :)

Bordeaux is a very nice town, I lived there for six months.
If you like to go out and like latin music, check out the Calle Ocho in the Rue du Loup. It's quite small and hot, but the atmosphere is amazing! For just grabbing a pint, I really enjoyed the Houses of Parliament, an English pub in the rue du parlement.
The rue Ste-Catherine is Bordeaux' shopping street and is the longest pedestrian shopping street in Europe. If you don't find what you're looking for there, you won't find it anywhere.
A very nice calm place to sit and enjoy the surroundings is at the hôtel de ville, and also the place Gambetta.
The city has a lot of public transport (trams busses), but most things are within walking range.

This is a really good place to go and shop. The beach just off is really good.

Campsite there and the beaches are fantastic

Not to much to see here except it is the connection point of the Undersea Channel.

Nice little town in the south west, a surfer resort during summer. I like it very much!!!....

bathing, tanning, enjoying some of the most beautiful french beaches you need sun cream, bath suit, sun glasses, hat and to pay attention to the currents...sometimes very dangerous

Its is a place you have to vistit, many vine, and a lot of tourits. Great hotels, and great food.

Arcachon is a very special area with kilometer af large white sand beaches, and the sand is 20 meter high. and the woods of pinjetrees is a great experience

pas de quoi fouetter un chat!

Une belle petite ville landaise, à découvrir plutot hors saison, car sinon gare à la foule! Des kilomètres de sable et pleins d'écoles de surf pour les intéréssés, il y a meme une competition du circuit pro en Aout!
