| The
word "Aquitaine" is of Latin origin and means
"land of water". The ocean, countless lakes and three huge rivers
tell us that the Romans' impression of the region is equally valid today. Despite its long and rich history, not many people know of Aquitaine, although many will be familiar with its most famous resident, Eleanor of Aquitaine, place names such as Biarritz, St.Emilion and Arcachon, or have probably consumed its most famous exports, wine and foie gras. The name "Aquitaine" is not often used, say the French, because it is difficult to pronouce! Try "Acki-Ten" or simply refer to it, as the locals do, as "France Sud Autrement" meaning "The Other South of France" If you need some more persuasion to visit Aquitaine, we've given 10 good reasons below why you should do so!
