REGION OF AQUITAINE : GASCONY
They say that Gascons live the longest in all of France. Gascons say this is due to their daily medicine of red wine and garlic. If you come to Gascony for your holiday, you'll soon see why it's conducive to longer living. This is a place to relax and enjoy a quieter pace of life. Gascony is a rural land of lumbering rivers, gentle market towns, sunflowers and...lots of geese. This is foie gras capital and eating is the region's number one pastime. If you love the markets, tranquility and cuisine of rural France then Gascony is an ideal choice.
