Gastronomy in Nouvelle-Aquitaine: authentic flavours and exceptional terroirs
Nouvelle-Aquitaine is a land of gastronomy where the flavours of the terroir are expressed with generosity. Between the sea, the countryside and the mountains, discover a rich and varied cuisine that showcases local products and traditional know-how.
Specialities by region
Each regional area has its own culinary treasures. On the coast, seafood — oysters from the Arcachon basin, mussels, sole and prawns — can be enjoyed fresh and full of the taste of the sea. In the Dordogne, foie gras, truffles, duck confit and cep mushrooms reign supreme. In the Landes, duck breast and high-quality poultry are served up. The Basque Country offers its famous Espelette peppers and Basque cake.
Markets and local products
The lively markets in the villages and towns allow you to meet passionate producers and artisans. Sheep's cheese, Bayonne ham, local wines, honey and river trout are just some of the delicacies to try.
A gastronomic experience to share
Many campsites in Nouvelle-Aquitaine now offer culinary events, tasting workshops and partnerships with local producers, so that your holiday is a treat for the taste buds.
