"BORDEAUX A LA UNE" Bordeaux by Toyin
Bordeaux Travel Guide: 475 reviews and 1,185 photos
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.
- Pros:Quiet, and Traditional.
- Cons:Still undergoing lots of Constructions.
- In a nutshell:Wine! Wine!! Wine!!!

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.
Excellent photos. I love the opening picture. What an interesting place to visit and learn about french wine.
Nice page. The view of St. Andre is beautiful!
Very beautiful page! Glad to find something on wines here!
I'm not sure if this place should be on a Must-See list or a Must-Taste list ;-) Great page with some great night shots and tips!
I enjoyed reading your tips in Bordeaux. I love Bordeaux wines so it was fun to see some pictures from the region. Very nice!
I would like to go and sample the wine and see bordeauxe by night...
Oh WoW Toyin, Bordeaux really does look gorgeous at night!! This place is on my 'must see' list :o) Lovely,...Cheers, Ann :o)
