What to do, to see, to hear...
Transports in Nouvelle-Aquitaine
Getting around in Nouvelle Aquitaine once you have arrived is relatively easy. Fast train services connect all of the major cities, including Bordeaux, Pau, Bayonne, and Poitiers. Bordeaux has a handy ring road if you want to get past it and on to another destination rather than visit it. The Chavanon Viaduct in Corrèze is a spectacular road bridge on the A89. Seagoing travel can be arranged from La Rochelle, Verdon-sur-Mer, Pauillac and Bordeaux.
