A cellar wine to admire!

It was our first time we've seen a cellar with so many bottles of wine.

That was just one of the many in Saint Emilion.

Hotel review - Hotel Etap (Ibis Budget) Merignac, France


The room was bright and clean, and the breakfast was basic, like in all the Etap hotels.

The Hotel is within walking distance of the Bordeaux airport, so it would be the ideal place to sleep for an early next morning flight.

Free internet and free parking.

The overhanging gardens of Marqueyssac, France

The gardens are arranged nicely with topiary only in a small area at the entrance. The rest is just walking in the forrest.

The greatest historical town we have ever seen in France.

You can walk for hours and you can still find it beautiful.

Hotel review - Hotel Altica, Sarlat-la-Canéda, France

Thin walls, small room, expensive basic breakfast.

Free parking and free wireless internet.

All in all, it is probably the quality/price option in the area.



Trip to Beynac-et-Cazenac, France

A nice small village climbing up on a rocky cliff.
