Month: April 2013

Took the train to Arcachon on the coast about 55 mins travelling time. Then immediately took the local bus to the Grande Dune de Pilat which is the largest sand dune in Europe. It’s massive.
Weather a bit cloudy but dry.

Last night we went to a very lively restaurant (mainly because the clientele was young) called Le Plouc . Rustic tasty food and great atmosphere. Charcuterie and Foie Gras to start and then both had Cassoulet. Er didn’t like the bowls. What’s all that about !!! Bottle of Listrac Medoc to accompany.

A few days in Bordeaux again. Couldn’t resist a cheap flight from Bristol.
A beautiful sunny day and very warm in the sunshine but a bit cool in the shade.
Spent the day walking along the quay. First stop the Spring Antiques Fair in the Quinconces and a bit further along wandered through the Sunday food market .
Further along the quay are the Outlet shops and bought a pair of shoes.
Had to stop for a couple of glasses of rosé before heading back to hotel.
Such a nice day this is all we did, strolling around in the sunshine watching the world go by. Great.

The Antique Fair

The fish is so much cheaper than Nice

Some of these loaves were so big they could feed the 5000

It is great to get some sunshine at long last
