Bordeaux

Nice town! I love it! The town is famous for its wine but for its splendid gothic cathedrals and 18th century mansions.
Palais de la bourse also known as Place Royale, this is a perfect example of Bordeaux architecture at the end of the 18th century. This is a beautiful line of archways and slate roofs, with an impressive fountain in the centre - a setting made even more magnificent when it is lit up at night. There is a superb view of the Garonne river's right bank from this square.
I was impressing to see an ancient church transformed into cinema hall and a chic bistro.

Royan

A Happy New Year for all of you!!!

We spent some days in Royan. Famous from the 19th century for its « Bains de mer » (sea swimming), this very rich resort welcomed numerous artists during the roaring twenties. Ravaged by terrible bombardments in 1945, the city was declared a research laboratory on town planning and since then has an architectural heritage dating from the 1950s (modernistic architecture).

St. Cirq Lapopie

Located at the centre of the Lot, less than 25 km to the east of Cahors, St. Cirq Lapopie, dramatically overhangs the river Lot clinging precariously to a rocky outcrop high above the river.
