BORDEAUX S'EXPOSE

What attracted me to the City of Bordeaux are numerous. The fact that this place is renown for its quality wines, is number one. But, I also love the Beaches. Hence, with the advice of a friend who have a good insight to this region, I decided to make here my first tour of 2005.

Pont De Pierre

I had left Paris at about 1415 local time after picking up a friend who was arriving Orly Airport from Nice.

Stalingrad (Bordeaux) at Night

It should not therefore be a surprising, that, my first contact with Bordeaux was the night. It took me about six hours to transit from Paris to this City.

This page, is therefore a practical guide to bordeaux, from my point of view.

    Very nice page here. I just returned from a "working" few days here and unfortunately didn't spend much time exploring this beautiful city, maybe next time.
