Aquitaine is a region in southwestern France, mainly in the middle and lower reaches of the Garonne River (the central and western parts of the Aquitaine Basin).

[history]
The name "Aquitaine" comes from the fact that the region was conquered by Rome in 56 BCE and was called Aquitania ("Land of the Waters").

Topographically, the region ranges from the sandy lands at the mouth of the Gironde to the alluvial plains separated by numerous hillocks in the lower and middle Garonne, the limestone plateaus that stretch from the Périgord to the Quercy, and in Rouergue, part of the ancient crystalline plateaus that make up the Massif Central. The Dordogne and Garonne rivers and their tributaries run parallel to each other, running roughly east to west. …
