Aquitaine is a province in the south west of France containing the Bordelais, Périgord, Quercy and Agenais. Aquitaine was formerly called Guyenne. The Aquitaine Basin is a fertile plain between the Massif Central to the East, the Bay of Biscay to the West and the Pyrénées to the south. This plain produces vines, fruits, vegetables, wheat and maize.
