I hope that you all had a lovely Christmas time, with family, friends and cake! 2017 looks like it's going to be a year full of new adventures and challenges for us, not least a little gite to renovate.
A quiet start to the new year, so if you are looking for things to do, here are some of my favourites:
- Wander the cobbled streets of St Emilion. In the wintertime there's plenty of parking and the streets and lanes belong to you.
- Visit the Cite du Vin in Bordeaux, http://www.laciteduvin.com/en Closed on Mondays, but at this time of year there's no queuing.
- Head north to Blaye, discover the Citadel and look out along the estuary.
- Sunday mornings in Bordeaux, you're spoilt for choice. There's the flea market around St Pierre, anything from a vintage armchair to a solitary wine glass. If you prefer fresh produce, there's a fabulous organic market on the waterfront by the Hangars.
- But mostly, Sundays will often find us rummaging at the weekly flea market in Rauzan.
Whatever you do in the coming week, have a healthy new year in the Gironde and Dordogne regions.
Best wishes,
Helen
