A troupe of four actors takes us on a journey to discover the charms of Aquitaine. During their journey, punctuated by poems and songs, they show us different faces of this region rich in history, culture and resources. The varied landscapes, the sophisticated architecture, the charm of the sea make this province a country where life is good.
