July 18Jul 18 Anyone stay there recently? My wife won a trip in a benefit auction. We have a city excursion, a wine-tasting tour of Saint-Emilien, and a river dinner booked as part of the package. We are looking to fill an additional 2 1/2 days.
July 18Jul 18 First thing to do is learn how to spell Bourdeaux. Second thing is to be sure to wear shorts, t-shirts and flip flops everywhere you go. Edited July 18Jul 18 by TonyTexas

July 18Jul 18 TonyTroll’s stupidity knows no bounds. That stupid fuck is so incredibly unintelligent, it is truly shocking.
July 18Jul 18 Pretty much every Saint-Emilien wine I've had has been really good, so that should be a real good time.

July 18Jul 18 I would say to catch a Girondins game if you're there during the season, but they got sent down to the 4th division for financial troubles. It might still be interesting to catch a game as Nouveau Stade de Bordeaux is nice.
July 25Jul 25 You're just an hour away from Dunes du Pilat, which is a steep dune at the beach, with a nearby national park and nature preserve. Bordeaux is known for a tasty pastry called Caneles, baked in beautiful small fluted copper molds which make great souvenirs and gifts. You can buy them from the baillardran shops.

Get a bottle of Sauternes and enjoy with your caneles.

I'm more of a Left Bank guy but any Bordeaux wine will be a good one. The Dunes du Pilat is a good suggestion, there are a couple of nice beach towns around there, Arcachon probably the most popular.
July 26Jul 26 Author I've booked to a tour to the Dune du Pilat. Thanks for the very good recommendation. I also booked a chef-led tour of the Marché des Capucins so I think our excursion schedule is not filled.
