BORDEAUX A LA UNE

by Toyin - last update: Jan 9, 2005

BORDEAUX S'EXPOSE

Ste Marie De La Bastide
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.

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

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.
