The Spirit of Nouvelle-Aquitaine
Nouvelle Aquitaine is the biggest French region, both varied and surprising. Nature, wide-open
spaces, dynamic cities, legendary beaches – whatever you are looking for, here you are sure to find
your ideal holiday destination.
The region is evocative of prestigious names such as Bordeaux and the Cité du Vin museum,
Lascaux and the Dordogne valley, Biarritz and the Basque country, Poitiers and Futuroscope,
Cognac, Pau and the Pyrenees, and Limoges with its arts and crafts, among many others.
Moreover, our region has exceptional natural assets, conducive to the practice of outdoor activities
throughout the year: 4200 km of cycle routes, 750 km of coastline to practice surf, 88 golf courses
divided between vineyards and ocean and five regional parks for hiking. Our region also vibrates
to the rhythm of rugby thanks to its 6 Top 14 clubs and the warm welcome of its practitioners
Michel DURRIEU throughout the country.
Managing Director of the
Nouvelle-Aquitaine Regional Nouvelle-Aquitaine is also the birthplace of golf in France, with the very first golf course
Tourism Board in continental Europe opened in Pau in 1855.
Come and see the primary golf destination in France!
Our wide-ranging, rolling landscapes provide fans of nature with some truly exceptional settings, including wonderful views over the
ocean and mountains, and some exceptional natural features.
From the Basque coast to Limousin, via Bordeaux, the Dordogne valley or the islands on the Atlantic coast, visitors can combine golf
with our cultural and gastronomic heritage, at the heart of THE destination not to be missed for a certain French way of life, THE
destination for tradition and original experiences and THE destination for an innovative, varied, sustainable and resolutely future-
oriented offer for visitors.
Whether you’re a beginner or an expert golfer, we hope to see you soon on the greens of Nouvelle-Aquitaine!

courses to discover. On the greens of the Golf du Médoc near Bordeaux, the Château des Vigiers Golf in the Dordogne Valley,
Seignosse in the Landes Forest, or Le Phare in Biarritz - Pays Basque, the Ryder Cup experience is every day!
The secret to a successful trip? Combine golf with the discovery of Nouvelle-Aquitaine’s wealth of cultural and gastronomic
