Week 16 2016

Hello!

Cheese and wine pairing on the Gourmet Tour

How well do you know Bordeaux?  Do you know where to find the one remaining Roman wall tower? Have you visited the cheese cellar located in the vaults of a 15^th century convent? Where is the best place to find antiques and collectables? If you’re heading to Bordeaux with friends and families for a visit, why not visit with Bordeaux Walking Tours?

Hela Soula and her lovely team of guides will show you a hidden side of Bordeaux and tell you stories of the history of this beautiful city.  Not only that, but they also run Gourmet Tours which seek out the delicacies of the region and tours which focus on Farmers markets and Antiques.

Start here to discover historic Bordeaux

Helen
