South West

The juicy green Sud Ouest entices with hearty food and many remarkable wines. No wonder that this region produces vigorous men and valiant women who have their hearts in the right place. At least that is what Alexandre Dumas thought and sent the young d'Artagnan out to carry the spirit of Gascony into the world.
