My challenge is to go to Bordeaux without thinking about wine.
I don't mean "no drinking ".
It's like going to Melton Mowbray and not eating pie.
I mean, "don't think about it ".
I haven't done this in 30 years of visiting the city.
Wine has always been: tasting, analyzing, discussing, writing, and judging. Yes, judging.
Some of the medals you see on the bottle used to come in part from my vote.
This shows how reliable the whole wine competition process is. (“It’s red? ” “Yup. "Give it gold. ”)
So, it's enough about wine.
By the way, the city of Bordeaux --du-
Vin, I urged you to visit last year and urge again here that we will move on.
That's what I did, in honor of Paris.
The Bordeaux TGV service was officially launched in the summer.
To highlight the advantages of a high
I came by train.
As you will notice, the train goes straight to the city center-it can be reached in a few minutes, stopped, and went out.
In a car, even with GPS, in a city I thought I knew, I was thrown all over the place, following the sign of the spectrum parking lot, and cycling people, tram ecology
Buses, taxis, streets are so small that I'm not sure if they really exist, mothers with baby chairs, madmen sitting on other cars, except I don't know if this is correct because the sign for the parking lot is running out, so leave or go straight to the parking lot.
It just reappeared and caught a glimpse in the back-
Look in the mirror and point to my way.
Finally, I hid in the parking lot of the family hotel. “Car-
Great people Park "-it's recognition, I think, of the talent needed to find a damn place)
Park on the ground, lock up, climb up the ground, everything is OK.
No matter how often you look, the elegance of the city
The center of the triangle strikes the senses.
Like the vitruvians, the ratio is completely correct.
In the 18 th century, they tore out the dirty things of the Middle Ages and replaced them with solemn open space and neo-classical beliefs about the power of colonial wealth.
A sense of entitlement floating in the air;
This is clearly a capital that seeks state rule.
I always want to walk around and order sloppy pedestrians to be smart.
Then I saw my shadow in a shop.
Window, hurry up.
Like I do now.
The streets of the mother shelter hotel.
From the outside, it seems to be the regional headquarters of an insurance company.
Inside, my favorite hotel chain "mom Shelter" was confirmed: it was enough for us to hang out without abandoning the old rafting.
It is intuitive to use and has a good touch.
The bedroom is understandable, and the whole bedside makes up reading lights, bars-
The restaurant is a cross between the school canteen, the beach club and the coffee shop.
The admonition written here and there (
"Mom loves you from head to foot" in the bathroom ")
Boring, I had to subtly change myself from the reception
Realize the regional display box of the Eiffel Tower-
The shape of the item is a sex toy.
Otherwise, full marks.
But you can't stay in the bedroom of the hotel all afternoon, you can't stay alone. I lit out.
On Monday, galleries and museums were closed except for the art museum.
Museum of Art; musba-bordeaux. fr).
Good luck to you.
This is the only one I haven't been to before.
Its north wing is full of renaissance yearning, pleading and virginity.
In the south wing-dealing with the 19 th and 20 th centuries-I fell into the animal painting of Bordeaux --
Rosa banger was born
On Monday afternoon, I didn't ask for art more than the powerful horse she was stepping on wheat in kamage.
Critic Théophile Gautier wrote: "There is no need to be brave. [Bonheur]
Take art seriously, so maybe treat art like a man. ” Quite.
To get close to her object, she wore pants-like the other 19 th, Bonheur MS --
French women in the century have to ask
Annual permission from local authorities to avoid "transvestite" getting out of control. (
Until 2013, the law was still in the statute book. )
Bonheur met Queen Victoria, a friend of Bill Buffalo, who made a living selling paintings throughout her life. Post-
She is out of favor.
Now again, she is respected and respected by time.
I'm walking in this memorial Place Pey.
Bolan-the cathedral faces the magnificent town hall, the restoration of Mayor Alain Juppe and the 2017 presidential hopes he has dashed-to reach the more immortal place de la Condi.
The kitchen of the Grand Hotel is now in the charge of Gordon Ramsey.
On the contrary, the restaurant of the great classical theater is run by Philip edgebest, and coincidentally, he is the hard answer to the French TV version of "Kitchen Nightmare.
It's too expensive for me.
So I went to the nearby St. Remi pedestrian street, where it was cheap and happy to eat at the Corsica restaurant, and surprisingly, the restaurant was neither cheap nor happy.
I had two breakfasts the next morning-one at the hotel and the other on the secluded terrace of the painful Perdu bakery with Sylvie Berteaux.
Sylvie often has breakfast with unknown men. And women.
It is always here at the foot of the St. Pierre church.
Starting with the second oldest bakery in the city, she started eating breakfast
A tour of Bordeaux's medieval Inn, part of which puts commemorative things from other places together.
The area constitutes a conspiracy that anyone can join;
Sylvie offers a main course (miam-bordeaux. fr;
Two hours, page 22).
So is Baker Nur Capone.
Time and quantity surveyor, he now bake rye, among other things
Supporting my bread for several days.
It is unusual that posters of Hendricks, Lennon and Frank Zapa are hung on the wall.
Sylvie continued through fruits and vegetables, spices and cheese emporia-chatting and tasting with all-went to a charcuterie store where people ate smoked margreys full of foie gras, drink a cup of clear while drinking
What a great way to spend a morning.
Later, I wandered around St. Croix Street and St. Michel Street, where the quiet street preserved centuries of dignity --
Working by port craftsmen.
At that time, salt selle Street was the center of the salted fish trade. France’s 16th-
Century philosopher Michelle de montian lives on the 23rd. I paused.
"A good marriage will be a marriage between a blind wife and a deaf husband," he wrote, you will never know your cat as well as your cat knows you ", which is commendable.
Then, back near the mom shelter, I had a beer at the Jaqen beer shop --and-bar.
Is it a craft beer in Bordeaux?
Of course, it's more friendly than any of the bars I 've experienced recently (Rue Beaubadet; jaqenstock. fr).
I changed the hotel to Seeko'o for the next few days
White UFO like an iceberg (the PR view)
Or big refrigerator (mine)
-Land on the stone facade of the River Quai Bacalan.
This is the old port hangar for the city and the bars and boutiques now invested.
This is another great hotel, mind, the light, space and design are great, the bar is packed with American rock singers and staff who obviously like people.
It's also convenient for Memosine, right by the pier.
I hired two people here. seater, open-
Double-sided electric foam-
Style the car and follow the instructions on its clever screen for sightseeing at speed.
From the Right Bank-through the wide, idle galon River-the epic grandeur of the river's front is most appreciated, and now it is rescued from neglect.
Thirty years ago, these areas were overcast.
Wandering around I will be approached by more drugs
More than I thought. Or afford.
Now everything is clean, in the screams of the Green ward and the family and the children, when they kick the mirror in front of the Exchange Palace, a stock --
Communication is based on wine, spices, slaves and the highest confidence in the correctness of all this.
My car buzzed near ConBrio, exploded between the Bolds that no regular car could follow, and parked in a small space for a large Labrador.
I can't be happier. memosine. com;
90 minutes, 25 pp).
Then I need shellfish.
I drove for an hour to the Gulf resort of akahong Bay and andanos. les-Bains.
Its Oyster village, like all French oyster villages, is a mess of passages and huts, tiles, some boats and associated scooters, driftwood structures, it is used to hold a pirate feeling at the edge of the wine tasting.
Oyster man Stéphane Boucher, 44, came out of his cabin as if he had just woken up. Which he had.
He is hospitable, knowledgeable and incredible.
Steepan began his life as a Paris banker, who plays rugby in California.
A small group of his Arcachon friends gathered together.
We climbed onto a flat boat and at its time it had seen some oyster harvest and started across the bay.
I was supposed to have a picnic but didn't read the instructions correctly so everyone else shared their food with me.
We sailed, we were tied up by Oyster Park, we ate oysters, we drank white wine, we jumped down when the tide was enough to retreat
Stéphane may show me how to deal with the deep water of the oyster pocket.
In short, there are good days and very good days, in the scorching sun, which is one of the latter.
So don't hesitate.
According to the tide, the outing with st éphane lasted about five hours.
£ 40 per adult, halfprice for kids.
Oysters included, but don't forget to have a picnic lunch (huitres-andernos. jimdo. com/english;
0033 699 026410.
I went back to Bordeaux and ate at a burger shop in Quai Bacalan, where the other customer was the oldest enough to be my son.
No one talks about wine, grape variety or soil type.
I avoided this throughout my stay.
A lot of tasks are done.
Travel time by rail from London, using new Paris-
Bordeaux TGV, from 6 hours, the price will be returned from 111 (0844 848 5848; voyages-sncf. com).
