Book a budget hotel in Aquitaine

The top five places to visit in Aquitaine

Here is a small selection of must-see sights to discover during a stay in the region. Book a weekend at one of our inexpensive hotels in Bordeaux so that you can admire its monuments and explore the nearby vineyards. Then head to Landes to recharge your batteries in the pine forests and before the waves of the Atlantic Ocean. Then go to the French Basque Country, on the coast in Biarritz or inland towards Espelette, more authentic. Also don’t forget about vacations in Dordogne, towards Périgueux, then visit Lascaux cave. Finally, travel further to the Pyrenees for some hiking.

Aquitaine’s culinary specialties

Aquitaine’s gourmet cuisine has a great variety. It combines the delicacies of the Southwest (confits, duck breast, foie gras, etc.) with Basque products (Espelette chili pepper, Bayonne ham). During a gourmet stay at our hotels in Béarn, don’t miss the local specialty, garbure, a cabbage soup with vegetables and duck confit. The traditional restaurants offer these. Don’t forget the wines from Bordeaux, not to be missed!

Events to remember in the region

Enthusiasts of festive traditions will not want to miss the ferias such as those in Dax, in August, or the Bayonne Festival at the end of July. For these occasions, don’t forget to book your hotel room in advance. Enjoy a stay in Bordeaux to discover the Wine Festival in June, alternating with the River Festival every two years. You can also visit the coast to see surfing competitions.
