Nouvelle-Aquitaine
If you want variety Nouvelle-Aquitaine is possibly the place for you. The largest administrative region in France, covering pretty much the whole of the south west corner, it has Atlantic coastal towns and seemingly endless pine forests to the west, the stunning backdrop of the Pyrénées in the south, vineyards (both wine and cognac) in the centre and north, lush pastures and agricultural landscapes in the north east and the most stunning architecture, valleys and villages from the centre towards the east.
