Aquitaine Guide

Aquitaine is the bit in the bottom left-hand corner of France. It is very popular with Brits - especially the Dordogne where they holiday or buy a French property. 30,000 years ago, it was inhabited by Neanderthal Man, who was notoriously messy and never tidied his cave. Only recently, another untidy Neanderthal cave was discovered near Bourg-sur-Gironde, and archaeologists are still busy picking up stone axes, half-eaten boxes of Narwhal nuggets and unwashed underpants. Neanderthal Man's descendants can still be seen in Bordeaux today, usually when Girondins de Bordeaux are playing at home.
