South
West of France region information
Wedged
between the Bordeaux region and the Pyrénées
mountains, the South-West of
France is exceptionally
sunny during the summer. The
Midi-Pyrénées region (where wines from South West of France are
coming from) is the biggest french region, bigger
than Belgium, Switzerland or Holland.
From
the Pyrénées mountains to the Massif
Central on the East and the Atlantic Ocean on the
West, Midi-Pyrénées is a very beautiful
region of mountains and plateaux, lakes and rivers,
as diverse as the wines from South West of
France.
