Date and time of visit: April 21, 2011, around 6:00 p.m. 1 night
Not a beautiful village series. The date is a little back and forth, but the last sightseeing spot on the 21st is the world famous Bordeaux. It is registered as a world heritage because it is called « Bordeaux, the capital of the moon ».
ボルドー、実は昨年行く予定だったのです。しかしアイスランドの火山の影響で航空便を変更しなければならず、その関係で結局訪れることができなかった街なんです。（ご参考：http://www.yuu-koma.jp/?p=3429）
In fact, we hadn’t made any plans to go here this year. I was originally planning to travel around the north of France.
However, I thought that I might be able to go to Normandy and Brittany sooner than I expected, because I had enough time in my travel schedule, and I drove my car at once.
However, I was in the region called Ile de Ré just before. The day before, we were in Brittany, so it was quite a distance to travel. Even so, we could move at once by high speed, so I think we arrived in about 2 hours.
We arrived in Bordeaux at 6pm in the evening. The hotel was already booked through Booking.com app when we were in Ile de Re. It’s in the city and slightly expensive…
I was able to park in the parking lot near the hotel safely though I wandered a little bit of the old town.
We checked into our hotel and rushed around the city for about an hour before dark.
Just beautiful, really beautiful! I don’t think there are many such nice big cities even in France. Personally, I thought it was much better than Paris.
Since there are many photos, I will present them in html5 slideshow.

Now, dinner is one of the things to look forward to. We were so tired that we could only drink a local glass of wine, but we heard that Bordeaux naturally has great food.
We had fish dishes at a pleasantly expensive restaurant, and all of them were delicious and tasty…. I think you can’t experience this kind of taste at a French restaurant in Japan.
After the meal, we went to the hotel. Since we had driven all the way from Brittany, we took a shower and went to sleep right after.
