Bordeaux France

Bordeaux is a thrilling and expansive city where wine still flows and churches still stand. Attractive shopping arcades and handsome 18th century riverfront facades adorn its streets. This city is a paradise for wine enthusiasts and it’s an ideal choice for a romantic getaway. Perhaps the most remarkable feature of the Cathédrale St-André is the wide variety of flying buttresses that surround it. To the right of the main portico is a 16th century buttress composed of a string of slender columns. Adjacent to the Church of St-Michel is the equally beautiful, free-standing bell tower, an imposing and hollow shell. If you ever wondered what Flamboyant Gothic was all about, these buildings provide an unsurpassed definition of that style. Also not to be missed is Bordeaux’s Romanesque representative, the Church of Ste-Croix, with its richly ornamented façade. And of course you cannot leave Bordeaux without visiting the Maison du Vin that offers free tastings of regional wines. The city is also within striking distance of the sublime, immensely enjoyable Dune du Pilat, a massive mountain of silken sand that seems to bring out the acrobat in everyone.
