Bordeaux Wine Country

As promised in the last blog, some long overdue photos of our rainy weekend in Saint-Emilion, outside Bordeaux which we visited for the first time on our way back to Spain from Paris.

We stayed in a self-contained housekeeping room at Les Logis du Roy on the top floor:




One night we enjoyed a wonderful dinner here at L'Huitrier Pie, just down the street from our hotel:




Market day in the main parking lot in the village:



Dinner the first night was at Restaurant Le Tertre:










Some views of the village:





































As it was harvest-time, only three local vineyards were open to visitors on Saturday. We made arrangements to visit two of them, Château Laniote first:
















Then it was on to Château Coutet and a lengthy wander through rain-soaked and muddy vineyards and fields before a delicious wine tasting! We bought enough cases from both wineries to fill up the car!
















Hasta luego...
