Bordeaux, 05/18/25

Manage to sleep in a bit and after breakfast at the hotel, headed over to Chartrons, the now chic neighborhood where the wine used to be stored. On Sundays there is a quayside market and this was well attended and had many options. I had a half dozen oysters. A number of river cruise boats were tied up and an ocean liner was being towed to the dock. After walking around the area a bit I stopped at the Chartrons covered market and had an excellent burger. From there, walked through the lovely public garden. Then tram back to the hotel for a little down time during the heat of the afternoon. A good walk around before dinner on the terrace in front of the intercontinental hotel. Excellent dinner with some Foie gras and truffle risotto, paired with some nice local wines.
