    The picturesque region of Aquitaine is located in the Dordogne, in south west France. Around a thousand small towns and settlements were founded by the English here during the 14th century - giving the region a rich history and fell of it's own. Today the area is again popular with English, holiday makers and increasingly the booming ex-pat property market.
