Today we visited the city of Bordeaux. We parked outside the city centre so we started our journey in the suburbs. To get to the centre we walked through a market / food court.
Even the suburbs look nice here.
Then we saw the Basilique Saint-Michel. Pretty cool building considering the tower is seperate from the rest of the building.
Very nice square around it as well with a little book market.
We stopped here (Moony) for lunch, very nice place, can recommend a meal here!
It's a burger bar and they've got some real nice one too!
It was getting pretty hot outside eventhough the forecast said "cloudy"....
This is the Pont de Pierre crossing the Garonne river.
The banks of the Garonne in Bordeaux. The river itself was big but the water very muddy.
Another Bordeaux landmark: Porte Cailhau.
And then this "must see". It's "Le Miroir d'eau", mirror of water. Very nice place with lots of people enjoying a refreshing stroll in the few centimeters of water.
At first I was wondering why they call it a mirror...
But every so often the water level drops, leaving wet stones behnd and then....
Selfie time!
After a while the water comes back slowly but because the stones have warmed up this creates a lot of steam which in turn is another awesome thing about this "mirror of water" :-)
Walking on.... we came across the coolest icecream shop in Bordeaux. They make the icecream look like a flower! Oh, and you can get a macaron on top!
Of course there had to be some shopping involved too.
Milan and I thought the LEGO store was quite fascinating :-)
And then we walked back to our car.
I can conclude that Bordeaux is very much worth a visit and definitely a city I could live in!
