Hotels in South-West France, France
South-West France stretches from the Atlantic coast to the Pyrenees mountains, famous for its Bordeaux wine vineyards and the Basque Country's surf beaches. The climate is mild year-round, with warm summers perfect for cycling through Médoc's châteaux or kayaking in the Dordogne River, and cool winters ideal for skiing in the Pyrenees (average July highs 77°F/25°C, January lows 36°F/2°C). In summer, you can catch live Basque folk music in Biarritz's old port, while autumn brings truffle markets in Périgord, where black truffles sell for over $500 per pound.
