REGION OF AQUITAINE : MEDOC BLEU The Médoc Bleu stretches from just north of the Bassin d'Arcachon to the tip of the Gironde estuary at Pointe de Graves, taking in Lacanau-Océan, Montalivet-les-Bains and Soulac-sur-Mer along the way. It's a stretch of coastline dominated by magnificent ocean beaches, pine forest and shimmering lakes. The Médoc Blue, Green and Gold might be more appropriate! Known for a range of outdoor activities: surfing, cycling, golf, horse-riding, sailing and, of course, sorties into the Médoc Rouge, bordering the Gironde estuary, to sample the famous wines of Pauillac, Margaux and Saint-Julien. Within easy reach of Bordeaux, this region is a treat for all the senses.
