Where Did We Go |
Why Is It Important |
We travelled to an extraordinary place called Aquitaine which is located in France and has many different attractions. On our tour we visited two different places, Bordeaux and Biarittz and they were both very cultural and unique in their own way.
There are many different festivals and celebrations in Aquitaine and one of them is Fêtes de Bayonne. This festival is very elaborate and is world renowned. We have tasted many dishes from Aquitaine but our favourite dish was Bordeaux Canelé because it was very distinctive and sweet. We also learnt that Eleanor of Aquitaine was one of the most important women in France and she had played a significant role in French history. |
Well in Bordeaux some of the most world renowned wines are produced such as Sauterne, Saint-Emilion & Côtes de Buzet.
There was also the Battle of Castillon which was the last battle fought between the French and English during the Hundred Years War. This is just after the capture of Bordeaux by the French. Aquitaine is also important because it has had ties with England through royalty. Eleanor of Aquitaine was English married Louis the Young who later became the King of France. |
