Midi Pyrenees and Aquitaine Regions -The Beauty of Living in the Southwest of France
Although only 30 minutes from the historical city of Pau with its daily flights from Pau airport and within 90 minutes of the Atlantic coast and 90 minutes of the Pyrenees ski resorts. We feel lucky to have discovered this beautiful area which is completely unaffected by the hustle and bustle of larger cities but still not isolated.
Having previously driven both from St Malo and Calais when on visits to the area, we were already aware of the good state of the roads and the lovely warm summers, but when the heat of the summer months began to fade and with the onset of autumn, we began to appreciate far more about our new home - there is little to compare with the luminous sunsets which precede beautiful starlit nights.
This area is an absolute Paradise for any-one with creative skills, no wonder the summer months are filled with musical festivals and fêtes. Seeing most of the leaves still on the tree branches until the very end of November and into December is still a novelty for us and the few grey winter days pleasantly interspersed with many days of clear blue skies and bright sunlight really gives you a feeling of cheerful well-being, which is, of course, enhanced by the beautiful scenery hereabouts.
We benefit from a range of varied landscapes from the mountainous Pyrenees to the rolling countryside of the Gers and onto the reclaimed wooded region of Les Landes. Apart from the beautiful scenery and mild climate there is a range of flora and fauna which I believe we will never take for granted. Each day brings another delightful discovery and we have now been here for four years!
Sports and entertainment abound from skiing in the winter to surfing in the summer; motor racing to Tour de France; jazz to country and western festivals;peace and tranquility to some of the country's main cities; fast auto routes to narrow country lanes - this is an area which offers something for every-one and all only a short distance from large International airports making ease of access to the rest of Europe and countries outside of Europe. Why not come and see for yourselves?
