At My Mom's in The Bordeaux Wine Country

Visiting my mom in Bordeaux...

Now that's my kind of glass!




 Note the healing chin, no more stitches and down to a small band-aid


The logo of the city of Bordeaux looks terribly familiar...

 Oh I know! It's basically the biohazard symbol...


 Sunset on the Garonne river

Dinner at chateau de Talleyrand in Chalais, the ancestral home of France's (in)famous foreign minister.

I love this old cinema at La Roche Chalais, where my mom and I were the only 2 people there to see Moonrise Kingdom (in English).

Very cool old bar in the movie theater...


Visit of an old monastery that used to control vast extends of land across France and England...






 Mom nerding out on the carved stones...

Which are actually very cool. As per this medieval representation of the devil. Kinda looks like an alien to me...



Adam and Eve





Storm rolling up...

Visiting my old friend David in La longue, possibly the smallest village in France...

Arthur (standing) and Simon (seating), his two little devils...

View of Riberac, the charming local town

  1. salut David, mélanger un bordeaux et un fromage c'est ce que je préfère faire pour faire découvrir la France ( with mixed results I must admit) .

    All the best for the rest of your journey
