What can one say about Bordeaux? The largest city in the South-West famous for wines.

 

Heavy British influence in the 18th Century architecture, particularly around the Bourse over-looking the river.

 

An enormous variety of shops, restaurants and bars. Museums, theatres, cinemas and all manner of attractions.

 

The Natural History Museum was a surprise hit with our children.

 

Invariably busy, but also chic with the student quarter on one hand and the opulent streets around the Opera House on the other.

 

Beware the new trams – you can’t hear them coming.
