Aquitaine can be divided into five departments: Dordogne, Gironde, Landes, Lot & Garonne, Pyrénées Atlantiques. In addition to their shared history, these areas have a great deal in common: They are wine producers and are particularly noted for their cultural heritage, sporting achievements and vernacular architecture.
The Romans aptly named the region Aquitania, a "land of water" as it is dotted with lakes and marshes and many important rivers such as Adour, Dordogne, Garonne, Isle and the Gironde estuary.
Extending from the Spanish border to the river Loire, the region covers a total of 41,000 sq km / 15,000sq miles.
