Bordeaux is readily accessible to Paris via the TGV train which takes just a bit over three hours to complete the journey. Bordeaux is the principal city of the region and allows the visitor to step back in time into an era of palatial mansions, historic churches, and magnificent architecture, while Biarritz has been one of the major ports of call for the rich and famous for two centuries. However, there is much to recommend Aquitaine beyond its urban splendors.
