First sunbathing in a public garden in Bordeaux on Friday afternoon.
And a very nice week-end with 2 excursions :
On Saturday Olivier and I went to the "Bassin d'Arcachon" (about 70 kms from Bordeaux), to Cap Ferret to be precise. It is a peninsula with a gulf on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other side, with a great view of the Pyla Dune (the highest sand dune in Europe). A great place really! (by the way many famous French people - singers, actors, football players - have a house there). Unfortunately I couldn't take any picture as my camera had no battery left :-( But to give you an idea, here come a map of the place and a picture taken on internet...
On Sunday, we visited a castle near Bordeaux : the "Château de la Brède". It was owned by Montesquieu, a famous French writer who was also the father of the separation of political power (executive, legislative and judiciary) - for those who have studied constitutional law ;-). A very interesting guided visit and a nice walk in the park.

¡Qué bonito!, espero que esta vez no te pusieras malita ;-)
Tendré que poner más fotos en mi blog, jejeje, me estás dando mucha envidia.
Besos, francesita.
Ahh la dune de Pyla... je m'en souviens de cette dune ! Quand tu montes sur la dune de Pyla, tu t'en souviens de la "dune la plus haute d'Europe" !!!
A l'aller çà allait encore car il y avait des escaliers mais au retour... on a marché dans le sable chaud (voir brûlant l'été) sur une longue pente raide !
Faut être motivé pour y aller se baigner !! lol
Je ne connais pas le Château de la Brède, tu me raconteras.. quand tu viendras en Vendée avec ton chéri. :D
