The "Sud-Ouest"
You can live the good life in France
The "Sud-Ouest Authentique" is the epitome of a countryside that flourishes all year round, where you can live the good life in France and soak up its art de vivre. The land is rooted in the strong local identity and warm and friendly hospitality that South West France is famous for.
This is a land where mankind and nature live together in harmony, a land for new experiences and encounters, a land with everything you could wish for from slow tourism: switch down a gear, live among the locals, be part of a community, recharge your batteries, experience the real France, do your bit for the environment and use local businesses during your break.
