Holidays in Aquitaine

Today's story will be devoted to a "take it easy" vacation, a rest that charges the batteries perfectly. The ideal goal of such a holiday is Aquitaine, chosen by both tourists and the French themselves for the so-called "Green holidays". If to rest - it is in this region. On the other hand, here, as nowhere else, you can feel the truth of the saying: "A healthy mind is in a healthy body." A stay in Aquitaine will be remembered by every lover of sports activities, because the region offers visitors a great variety in this respect. Fans of walks and bicycle trips will be pleased with the vacation, you can also get to know the surrounding nature from the horse's back. The braver (without fear of heights) will see more while flying in a balloon or paraglider. There is also an option for those who like an adrenaline rush - parachute jumping.

Thanks to its beautiful lakes and rivers, the region is friendly to lovers of water sports (canoeing, jet-ski, canyoning, surfbike, rafting, etc.) and fishing.

The oceanic climate and beautiful beaches have tempted many.

A trip to Périgueux

Tourists who want to soak up its atmosphere during their holidays in France , even to touch it tangibly, often choose smaller towns, cut by narrow streets, where they can hide and feel the "idyllic angelic" French life. Such a city is Périgueux , located in the Dordogne department (Aquitaine-Limousin-Poitou-Charentes region). Here we will breathe, calm down, forget about everything that is stressful and unpleasant. Walking along the narrow streets will allow us to focus our attention on the details of the architecture, to go back a bit in time. The streets near the cathedral are especially charming - a white temple visible from many parts of the city, the inspiration for the Sacre Coeur Basilica in Paris. Every Wednesday in the pre-cathedral square there is a market where you can buy fruit, vegetables and seafood. While visiting Périgueux, you can walk to the 1st century AD park (arena) and see the mayor's house. What else should you do during your stay? You will definitely try the local cuisine, especially sweets - including canelés and macaroons.
