covers a whopping one eighth of France’s land mass. Seeking a big-name tourist destination? Look no further: here we fi nd Biarritz and Basque Country, Arcachon, the Île de Ré, Poitiers, Saint-Émilion and Bordeaux (the region’s capital), the Lot, Dordogne and Garonne Valleys, as well as Dordogne classics such as Bergerac and Sarlat-la-Canéda, Angoulême, Cognac country, the Landes Atlantic coast, Limoges and the Limousin. There are many varied paysages to explore, from lush forests to picture- postcard islands, sandy beaches and surfi ng hotspots, magnifi cent mountains and serene lakes – campers who choose Nouvelle-Aquitaine really are spoilt for choice. History and culture vultures are in for a treat as well, with many towns and cities to wander around. There’s Bayonne with its historic


buildings and cobbled streets and massive annual street party, beloved dried ham and delicious chocolate.


Beautiful Poitiers, so easy on the eye, is only 20 minutes from Futuroscope – a defi nite must-visit for families camping in the area. This hi-tech theme park is a great place for kids of all ages (as well as Mum and Dad, Granny and Grandad!). If your little ones enjoy comic-strip books, a trip to Angoulême, France’s undisputed bande dessinée capital, is essential. It is the capital of the Charente, which is also home to the town of Cognac, the production heartland of the world- famous amber nectar. Neighbouring Charente- Maritime is heaven for family breaks, with long sandy beaches and idyllic seaside resorts. Enjoy a day trip to La Rochelle, its capital: it’s the perfect place to sit
