THE GIRONDE

The countryside features outstanding châteaux and vineyards and the cuisine and local produce are unsurpassed. There are 270km of wonderful beaches with Europe’s best surfing and many regard the climate as even better than the Med. For golfers, there are no less than eleven top quality courses.

It's hard not to agree with them and anyone considering setting up home in France should spend time evaluating the city's many attractions; cultural, architectural and gastronomic.
