Bonjour vin blanc es rouge...

The port city of Bordeaux, France is an amazing historical town with preserved fasinating architecture since the 18th century. Almost all the old quarter buildings show various time periods of these beautiful detailed 18th century architecture with narrow cobblestone streets filling in the gaps.

Bordeaux is known for three major industries:

1. It is known to be Europe's main military space and aeronautics research and construction facililty.
2. It is known to be the World´s wine capital containing thousands of estates for producing some of the world´s best red and white wines.
3. One of France´s well established university giving the town a young and vibrant feel when walking and enjoying the urban atmosphere

Within the historic town itself, there are a few famous landmarks with one of them being the St. Andre Cathedral which was built when the English settled in the town after the recent marriage of Duchess Eleanor of Aquitaine with the French-speaking Count Henri Plantagenet, born in Le Mans, who became, within months of their wedding, King Henry II of England.

Andy and I have done many activities in this town such as walking and enjoying the local scenery, winery tour outside of Bordeaux and of course we both saw the opening of Spiderman III at a local theatre (and yes it was the original version too)
