A trip to Aquitaine

As property experts will agree, one of the best places to buy a French home is in the south west region of Aquitaine.

Bordered by Spain, the stunning area offers a Mediterranean climate, vast coastlines and the best in French cuisine.

Buying a property in Aquitaine will give you all you need whether you are retiring there, holidaying for half the year or moving to the region permanently.

But even more than this, the area is steeped in tradition, history and legend.

Eleanor of Aquitaine


French tourists flock to the region every year and the more cultured among them often seek out more information on the famous Eleanor of Aquitaine.

Throughout the Middle Ages, this French woman became one of the richest and most powerful females in the whole of Europe as well as being one of the best educated.

At just 15 she became bride to the King of France Louis VII and died in 1204 at her favourite religious house, the abbey of Fontevrault in the Loire Valley.

Boating in Aquitaine


If you have already bought your French property and are looking for some adventure at the weekend, Aquitaine offers many outdoor activities.

Its seaside location means that one of the most popular of these is boating trips which are offered by dozens of companies dotted along the coast.
