France Boating Holidays in Aquitaine and Gascony

Aquitaine - A Heaven of Tranquility

From the vineyards of Bordeaux to the gentle beauty of the Garonne Valley, a variety of landscapes awaits you, and some of the finest wines and brandy in the world. No wonder Aquitaine is one of the most popular cruising locations.

Situated in the warm west of France, Aquitaine is blessed with plentiful sunshine and pleasant breezes. The scenery ranges from vine covered hillsides to lush woodland and orchard fields.

Cruising along the Garonne valley, the newly restored Baise river, or the lower Lot provides a truly rewarding experience.

Discover market squares, Roman remains, fortified towns, ancient mills, magnificent chateaux and vineyards, together with some outstanding restaurants and riverside bars and cafes.

If there is one area of France where good living is a tradition, it is the regions of Aquitaine and Gascony.

The gastronomic temptations in the region are almost unlimited - local delicacies such as 'foie gras’ washed down with the delicious local Buzet or Cahors wines.

Aquitaine offers real peace and beauty.
