Q. What are the best beach towns along southwestern France's Atlantic Coast? Asked by Rita K - Tue May 15 13:20:52 2007 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. A bit south of Bordeaux is a beautiful town called Biscarrosse. I went there a few years back and the beaches are beautiful and there's a nice market and little town centre. It's not a very big town and it seemed more a place for French people on summer vacation then a big tourist spot. They have hotels but also camping close to the beach if you have a tent or RV.

Asked by Megan - Mon Nov 24 20:50:40 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. First, Eleanor of Aquitane married Louis VII of France, creating an alliance between France proper and the duchy of Aquitane. Later, he forced her to join him on a crusade in which he attacked the wrong town. He had Eleanor tied into her litter so the Aquitanians would follow her. They had two girls and no boys. By French law, only sons could inherit. Louis got a dispensation from the Pope and divorced her. She was later wooed by Henry II Plantagenet, King of England and they wed. This brought Aquitane into the possession of the English. The English now owned Aquitane, Normandy, and Brittany. The need to protect and hang on to these holdings led later to the causes of the 100 Years War.
