What a cool town Bordeaux is. I got to spend a day walking around seeing the sites and discovering restaurants.
How funny that just accross the street from our hotel the Saint Catherine Quality Hotels was the Bordeaux Tango Club headquarters.
The temperature was 10 degrees celcius and sunny much better than the -3° in Paris and cloudy. Bordeaux reminded me of Florence but the color of the stone is white when cleaned. Tons of houses are empty. Real estate is cheap compared to Paris but it must be frikken hot in the summer and expensive to renovate those stone facades. I didn't get out to the periphery but was told that is just as ugly as the downtown was pretty.
there was a beautiful Christmas marché where we bought stuff for presents.

Definitely a town worth going to visit. Such cool shops and cafes.
