REGION OF AQUITAINE : PYRÉNÉES
The Pyrénées is a natural wilderness credited with National Park status. Mountains, lakes and forests combine to create a landscape which nature and wildlife enthusiasts will admire. Tourism is evolving - there are plenty of outdoor acitivties to choose from - but it is far less developed than the Alps and this is one of its greatest attractions. And if you do fancy a little culture and sophistication, Pau is a genteel, gem of a city.
