The Aquitaine region, known as Nouvelle-Aquitaine since its merger with other regions in 2016, stretches from the Atlantic coast to the Massif Central. The climate is mild most of the year, except in the hinterland and at higher altitudes, where it can be colder.
The coast enjoys an ideal climate, mild (even hot in summer) but cool thanks to the ocean breeze and regular rainfall. If you're looking to hold your wedding outdoors, the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region is a sure bet from April to October!
The gastronomy of the South-West is the pride of France. Oysters from the Arcachon basin, duck breast from Gascony and Ossau-Iraty cheese from the Basque country are all particularly popular.
And while Bordeaux wines can be bought all over France and the world, the gastronomy of the South-West takes on a whole new flavor when you're there. If you decide to get married in Aquitaine, make sure you use local caterers. Your guests' taste buds will thank you!
The region is renowned for its world-famous wines. Examples include the Graves vineyards, famous for their red and white wines, and Sauternes, famous for its sweet wines, both produced in the Bordeaux region.
Some wineries can also be privatized for special events, such as weddings. This type of venue offers an enchanting setting, often with a panoramic terrace overlooking the rolling vineyards, ideal for sunset cocktails.
So, if you want to make your wedding an unforgettable moment for you and your guests, choosing an estate in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region could be a good option!
