 VINES by Toyin As you drive through Bordeaux, vine yards are scattered everywhere. This area has an outstanding microclimate and unique soils. Though the soil is composed of stones, sand, gravel, clay, silt. In St Emilion alone, the average anual production exceeds 250,000 hectolitres. Leave a Comment

 buskers by JulesH In most restaurants tipping is not required as service is included. Some restaurants will try to encourage you to leave an additional tip by bringing your change to you in small shrapnel. Don't worry, save the small change for paying buskers who play nearby and will be satisfied with any coins you have to hand. Leave a Comment

 Mr Murzik by bugulma Murzik, or Mr Murzik, is a wild cat who sometimes visits Lionel house. The first visit of Murzik was bound up with nice smell of barbecue. Lionel told that Murzik was invited and it seems he liked it because in his next visit Mr Murzik caught mouse and brought it to the house :-). When I was a guest of Lionel, Murzik came but he was afraid to come cause of unknown me. He ate and disappeared straight away. Leave a Comment

Bordeaux has some super graffiti, murals and street art, despite being such an ancient historic city. No doubt it is related to the fact there are over 60,000 students in the city! I came by train to Bordeaux and noticed there was graffiti 'peices' on almost every spare wall by the tracks for the last few km's of the journey. The city council cracks down on illegal graffiti in the main touristy areas. However, several of the shops and bars have allowed murals to be painted on their roll-shutters - you will have to wait till they are closed to see the full effect. In addition there is a long stretch of wall on rue du Mulet near place Camille Jullian covered with excellent murals - I believe this backs onto a well known youth centre. If you are staying at the Holiday Inn in Meriadeck there are several enormous colourful murals within a short distance. www.fatcap.org Leave a Comment

Bordeaux is a wine lovers paradise. Its famous red wines are recognised all over the world. The prices are good here and the quality is excellent. We tried many locals wines at the restaurants in the city and at a wine festival which coincided with our visit. Leave a Comment

In 1137, the future King Louis VII married Eleanor of Aquitaine in this cathedral. The exterior wall of the nave dates from 1096 (most of the rest was built in the 13th and 14th centuries). The 15-th century belfry, Tour Pey-Berland, stands behind the choir, which has chapels nestled among the flying buttresses. Leave a Comment
