Paris
always piques my interest, but sometimes, I want to go further afield to places like
Aquitaine
. Unfamiliar with this sumptuous
southwest region of France
?
The Bay of Arcachon lured actress
Sarah Bernhardt
to
Andernos
, where she lived from 1915 until she died in 1923. Music hall sensation,
Josephine Baker
, bought a castle here, called
Les Milandes, where she housed her 12 (Take that
Kate Gosselin
!) adopted children. It's now open to the public. Impressionist painter
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
spent the last months of his short life at
Château de Malromé in the
Entre-deux-Mers, which is also open to visitors.
France Guide is
giving away a trip for 2 to Aquitaine, which includes 2 round trip tickets on
Air France
, 2 nights in superior room at
The Regent Grand Hotel, continental breakfast, 2 dinners and 2 lunches (including drinks), 4 winery visits (including tastings), entrance fees for monuments, and a bike rental in
St. Emilion
. Wine not enter?
