Bordeaux, Aquitaine
Been there a couple of times
About 10 years ago
Stayed at the old and charming Bourdigalla hotel.
Had some amazing seafood downtown.
And had dinner at a creperie.
Saw the Asterix movie, in French.
Hired a guide for a day, and he took me to several vineyards, and I learned a lot about wine that day. It was a bit late in the season, so the places that were open gave extra attention and time.
Bordeaux is much more laid back and friendlier than Paris. In Bordeaux people like to stop and talk. Strongly recommended.
When in France, hurry up and get done with the museums in Paris, then hurry down to Bordeaux for some good livin’
