Bordeaux was an interesting place, with the old city along the river, all built the same to suit the king. I think Louis 15th. The city is listed with Unesco as a heritage site. We took a tour around in the bus and then walked for a while to get up close. There has been wine grown there for over 2000 years - before the Romans. A lot of old wineries in the city are now homes and businesses. After a sample of the local wine we have driven up to Lourdes. There are lots of souvenir shops along all the streets and also market stalls selling everything from shoes, jewellery, and undies to African crafts. We had a good wander around before dinner and tonight there is a candle light procession to the grotto.
