| Hello! |
We are happy to return for this sixth edition of our 100% Nouvelle-Aquitaine newsletter.
In this new edition: a zoom on the flagship Atlantic Coast destination, and TOP news, our interview of Ambre Benier, Manager of the La Rochelle Aquarium, the iconic Velodyssée cycling route’s 10th anniversary, a host of new accommodations, the city of Biarritz’s sustainable commitment to both leisure and business tourism.
This summer, many countries including France have been hit by several heatwaves, struggled against forest fires indubitably caused by global warming. In Nouvelle-Aquitaine, except for a few affected sites, our holiday offer remains intact, and we are ready and eager to greet your clients in complete safety. Support video for Arcachon Bay: #soutienbassindarcachon.
We look forward to welcoming you to Nouvelle-Aquitaine as soon as possible.
Enjoy ! |

| Focus on… the Atlantic Coast |
The unique and attractive "Atlantic Coast" destination stretches from La Baule to Hendaye, along 1,200 km of France’s coastline. Above all, it is a territory which boasts preserved landscapes and environment, offering a wide range of accommodation and activities. A well-known seaside destination, its main focuses are water sports, gentle roaming with hiking (thanks to its numerous itineraries) and cycling (cycling routes, coastal paths and La Vélodyssée), culture and art de vivre (historical, architectural and gastronomic heritage).
Exclusive: discover the testimony of Ambre Benier, the La Rochelle Aquarium Manager.
Did you know? Nicknamed the "Versailles of the seas", the Cordouan Lighthouse became a UNESCO World Heritage Site last summer, as a "cultural asset”, joining the list of Nouvelle-Aquitaine’s 15 Unesco World Heritage Sites. |
