The flavors of green Aquitaine

The southern region of France, where Aquitaine is located, is a very sunny area, which is favorable for the cultivation of vegetables and fruit in the Mediterranean. In addition, the area around Bordeaux (the capital of Aquitaine) is a typical wine area, famous for the best types of wine . It all influences the local cuisine. Aquitaine is a region dominated by fresh fish and seafood . While relaxing there, it is worth trying brandade (puree of heavily salted cod with milk and olive oil) and salt à la dieppoise (salt in wine with seafood). A dish known only in this area is lamproie à la bordelaise, or lamprey in vegetables . The Aquitaine cuisine also includes delicacies for meat lovers. It is worth trying, for example, entrecote bordelaise, i.e. Bordeaux entrecote with a sauce based on red wine, butter and shallots. The region's specialty is escalopes de veau aux truffes ( veal schnitzels with truffles ).

In the Bordeaux region, this drink is made mainly of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, cabernet franc, malbec and petit verdot (red wines), as well as sauvignon blanc, sémillon and muscadelle (white and sweet wines) varieties. It's worth tasting the delicate St. Émilion and Pomerol and the expressive taste of Médoc and Haut-Médoc.

The larch routes of Les Orres
Les Orres is a small but very picturesque French ski station. It is located in close proximity to the village of Embrun, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. The proximity of Lake Serre-Ponçon and the surrounding larch forests, combined with the gradually increasing number of well-prepared ski slopes, ensure the station's interest in tourists. It is approximately 1,860 km away from Warsaw. By car, this distance can be covered in approximately 20 hours. When planning a vacation in Les Orres , you need to be prepared that it will be difficult to take advantage of all the attractions offered by the resort. There may simply not be enough time for it. 101 km of slopes of all levels of difficulty await skiers - gentle and easy in the lower parts of the mountains (making it an ideal ski resort for beginners) and demanding in the higher ones, including the red Grand Cabane running between forests, almost 6 km long. There are smaller slopes at Les Orres 1800 , ideal for driving lessons. At an altitude of more than 2,000 m above sea level, there are ambitious routes that should not be used by people without experience. It is an area of quite long routes, mostly red, running from the mountain ridge to the station itself. While hiking on Clos Deguis, Bergerie, Boussolenc or Myrtilles, apart from the next sips of adrenaline, you can focus on admiring the valley with its villages and the mirror of Serre-Ponçon Lake. It is better to concentrate on the most difficult route of the resort, the famous L'Horrible ("Terrifying") or the black Pousterle, which is used in organizing international competitions. In addition to the ski runs served by 22 lifts, the station offers an ice rink, a toboggan run and a snow park with a boardercross track, snowmobile riding, paragliding and climbing frozen waterfalls. There are also restaurants and pubs, the resort also has a disco and a cinema.
