Gastronomy

Hey Foodies, it’s time for some post-match treats! We all know that fans find the whole match experience so much better on a full stomach!

Here in the South-West region of France, we are famous for our generously authentic cooking, so we say that you should go the whole hog with a starter, main course, dessert and wine.

Some of our local specialities: oysters from the Bay of Arcachon or Marennes Oléron, foie gras from Dordogne, Bayonne ham, Limousin beef, duck confit from the South-West and “cannelé” pastries from Bordeaux. Fresh, organic and locally-sourced!
