We will be in Medoc in September, staying at the Chateau du Foulon in Castelnau de Medoc. Does anyone know the best way to get to Medoc from Bordeaux? Is there a train or should we rent a car in Bordeaux? Also, has anyone stayed at this Chateau before? Thank you!
you can look here for train and bus information ( www.idos.cz ) for the page in english/british click on the uk/british flag.
For the Bordeaux area I would recommend renting a car. I don't know how long you will be staying but it would be a shame not to have the freedom to explore the beautiful countryside while there. The roads are easy to use, just remember it is more important to know the names of the towns in the direction you are traveling than the road numbers. Just a note of warning, if you are returning the car on Sunday it can be difficult to locate an open gas station that takes US credit cards.
Thank you. I think the car is the way to go - We'll be there 4 days and want to see as much of the peninsula as we can. Cheers.
best will be to rent a car
visit castelnau, but what it ll be????
have a look on st emilion, fronsac could be greater
if you need .....

While two members of our party decided to take a quick coffee brake, Chris, Patrick and myself decided to continue walking and came across the esplanade. Located in the grand esplanade, which is sorrounded by trees, are the two statues of Montaigne and Montesquine. The statues are located on top of twin pillars facing the river towards the end of the espanade.
If you decide to go and visit St-Bruno's then don't forget to take a small tour around the church. One one side you'll find a small place with a pond, several stone pilars and one side completely covered by a stone 'wall' covered with the names of people who died in the first or second world war
This gothic catherdral is another great building. The construction needed nearly two centuries (13th - 15th century). The building is 124 meters long and 24 meters high and looks absolutely magnificant, a "must-see" when in Bordeaux!
Or the Hotel de Ville (city hall). It used to be the old archbishop's palace and can be dated back to the early middle-ages. In 1771 archbischop Ferdinand-Maximilien Meriadec de Rohan decided to restructure the building and give it its present look. The front and the back of the main structure are identical. The 2 pavillions are now part of the museum of fine arts.
Bordeaux is a port city in the south-west of France. It is the capital of the Aquitaine région, as well as the préfecture (administrative capital) of the Gironde département. The city is nestled along the Garonne River about 45 minutes miles inland from the Atlantic coast. To the west lie various oceanside resort villages like Cap Ferret, to the northwest is Périgueux and Agen is to the southwest.
The city known as La Belle Au Bois Dormant, the 'sleeping Beauty', is well and truly awake after years of slumber. But when during my stay here, it seems the city never sleep at all... ^_^
I love walking along the river @ nite. The city so beautiful, the lights, the buildings, cathedral, and everything so great....
Few days stay in Bordeaux seems not enough.... cos too much to see... and just walking around we can admire this city which full with old building and gate, and also history of this city...
