New Aquitaine : Discover
This vast region offers a wide variety of unusual experiences. Visit the Cité de la BD in Angoulême and the Atelier Charentaise in La Rochefoucault, where slippers are made using the traditional sew-and-turn technique. See the Jacques Chirac Museum in Sarran, which exhibits gifts to the President from all over the world. The unusual leatherworker who works with fish leather. Thrill to a giant zip-line or axe-throwing. More leisurely: a gabare ride or a wine cruise. Eco-places, such as the Chaudron magique farm, bear witness to alternative lifestyles that respect the environment.
In Nouvelle-Aquitaine, you can sleep in a bubble perched in a tree, on a sailboat, in a giant barrel, a high-altitude refuge, a straw house, a ranch... Out of competition: DéfitPlanet', pioneer of unusual stays, and the Pressac Floating Village.
