As the name suggests, water may be the best feature of a vacation in the Aquitaine region of France. Whether it’s the shallow pool in which children can splash at Place de la Bourse in kid-friendly Bordeaux; the excitement of the waves that wash ashore in Biarritz; or the flow of wine at the many vineyards found throughout the region, families are spoiled for choice when it comes to things to do here. Kid-friendly hotels include newly built apartment-style properties within an easy walk of the main attractions as well as luxury beachfront resorts with royal history.
