Week 4 2016

Hello!

Do you know about the Cite du Vin in Bordeaux? Nor did I until one of the newsletter followers sent me these great photos. Thank you very much LM.

This amazing modern building is being built not far from the new bridge and beside the submarine docks (did you know there were submarine docks?)

‘This unique cultural centre will be a voyage around the world, throughout the ages, across the countless cultures and civilisations of wine’. Go and find out more on the website here It should be opening at the beginning of June.

Meanwhile, in the present, there is a veritable VO film fest at the Grandecran in Libourne.

Whatever you do in the Gironde and Dordogne regions, have a lovely week.

Best wishes,

Helen
