Nouvelle-Aquitaine: where vines meet the ocean

With 250 kilometres of beaches, historic towns, chateaus and vineyards, Nouvelle-Aquitaine has something for everyone. If you don't want to go surfing at Biarritz, take a boat tour in the Poitevin marshlands, or perhaps go on a wine-tasting detour into the vineyards surrounding Bordeaux. There are as many things to do as there are opportunities to explore Nouvelle Aquitaine.

 

The Grand Est: at the heart of Europe

Steeped in history, in the First World War, the Grand Est was the scene of major battles, such as the Battle of Verdun. Once there you can visit Strasbourg, the European capital, and also the vineyards of Champagne and Alsace, or the Vosges mountains. Why wait? Set out now to explore the Grand-Est.

 

Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes: the mountains in all their glory

The Auvergne Rhône-Alpes region is a land of volcanos and snow-covered peaks: from the springs of Evian to the slopes of Mont-Blanc, choose from amongst the ski stations and the thermal spas. From Lyon to the shores of Lake Annecy, there's everything to discover in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.

 

Hauts-de-France, land of the North

Hauts-de-France region is dotted with cathedrals, bell towers and citadels, and its plains bear witness to its mining history. Lille's carnivals and street market are the chance to try the best chips in France, before sauntering to the Côte d’Opale. There's so much to discover in Hauts-de-France.

Corsica: a preserved jewel

With its villages perched up high and its hiking trails, the beaches and heavenly seabeds, Corsica has more than one attraction for visitors. From Calvi to the Gulf of Bonifacio, through the Citadel of Corte, this beautiful island holds more than one surprise in store for you. Don't hesitate to explore Corsica.

Normandy: the good life

People go to Normandy for its gentle climate, wooded countryside, cows and steeples. You can also admire the cliffs of Fécamp, be speechless at the sight of Mont-Saint-Michel, walk the beaches of D-Day and follow the path of William the Conqueror. Go and explore Normandy.
