Hotels in South-West France, France

South-West France stretches from Bordeaux to the Basque Country, famous for its world-class red wines and prehistoric cave paintings in the Dordogne. The climate is mild, with warm summers averaging 77°F (25°C) perfect for surfing at Biarritz's rough Atlantic beaches, and cool winters around 45°F (7°C) ideal for hiking the Pyrenees foothills or touring medieval villages like Sarlat-la-Canéda without the tourist rush. In spring, cycle through the vineyards of Saint-Émilion, and in autumn join the grape harvest festivals in Bordeaux.
