Our France Tour Suggestions
At Southwest Story we are passionate about France, its charming south west regions and their history. On our site we want not only to share with you the beauty of this part of France but also to provide you with a guide of where to travel in the south west France.
One of our goals is to propose our readers 6 France tour itineraries - we call them here STORIES - that will allow the tourist to place "in situ" events that shaped the history of this part of France - including the Dordogne Valley and the Canal du Midi histories and the story of Bordeaux wines that comes with a handy guide of Bordeaux region's most important wineries for your self-guided winery and wine tasting tours.
We also tried to supply you with what, we believe, are the most important tourist attractions in or around the main cities of the South West and some of the most significant cultural events and other activities - including wine tasting related events that take place there all year round.
And for...armchair travelers (and not only): you can bring a flavor of France to you by checking out the south west of France food recipes section. We have revisited some of the classics and adapted them to a more modern, more international and ingredient available, cuisine.
There is always something interesting happening in the center of Toulouse!
