Bordeaux, France was our final stop before returning to Granada for a couple weeks. Of course, their wine region is well known and we tried a few different wines from various vineyards as well as walked all over the main part of the city. There were some additional things that would have been neat to check out if we had a car or more time. Enjoy!
When we first arrived we found that our tram line was down and that we were to take a bus and walk through the old city to find our hotel. I thought this was a fun, colorful idea to provide shade while highlighting the entrances to this promenade.
This was the closest I could get to still water while also trying to capture the scene across the street after most people had spilled away from the Miroir after the fireworks. The buildings across the way were originally built as hotels, but I’m not sure if they are still. It’s a major symbol for the city now.
This is the Tour Pey Berland and is a bell tower with views of the city. It was built as the cathedral next door couldn’t support the weight of the bell.
The main entrance of Saint-AndrĂ© Cathedral with it’s free standing bell tower to the left.
The Grand Theatre of Bordeaux and oh wait, who’s that guy?
