Bye, you guys. I'm heading off to Bordeaux on an early flight tomorrow morning and I just can't wait. Any last minute tips or recommendations? Leave them in the comments down below, please!
We're spending the first few days in the stunning Les Sources de Caudalie (really hoping this cold I have doesn't get any worse!) before heading into Bordeaux proper and using a gorgeous 18th-century Airbnb apartment as our base.
I'm looking forward to a visit to Saint Emilion and also Europe's largest sand dune. As you do. I'm also curious to explore all the pretty side streets and cafes of Bordeaux. Did I mention wine yet? That too.
I'm hoping to scope it out before bringing my mom and dad back for a family vacation sometime soon.
In the meantime, please visit me on Instagram and follow along on our adventures!

YAY! HAVE FUN! I miss Bordeaux sooooooo much! I think I gave you all the recommendations I could a while ago so I could live vicariously through you. :) Have a great time, Jaime. x
ReplyDeleteThank you, Charlotte! We loved it. It was one of those cities that grew on me as we stayed there throughout the week. I can't wait to share more about our trip here on the blog! x
DeleteEnjoy mon cher!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Emma!
DeleteHave an amazing time!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angie! We had a lovely time.
DeleteIf you're looking for a really good French restaurant head to " Le cochon volant", Santosha is a Thai restaurant in the center of town that's delicious and Plume is one of the cutest brunch/lunch places in Bordeaux!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your recommendations, Bayyinah! We ended up making it to Plume for brunch, which was excellent!
DeleteAmazing, love the flat lay! I didn't know France was the home of the biggest sand dune in Europe, can't wait to see the pics!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! Yes, it is, and it was INCREDIBLE! I can't wait to share my post and will definitely let you know when it's up!
DeleteOoooh how exciting! I definitely recommend drinking wine :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, thanks, Frankie - I took your advice and it was amazing.
DeleteI've been to Bordeaux years ago when I lived in France but didn't realize there was a sand dune there! Looking forward to reading about it
ReplyDeleteIt was incredible, Suze - I'll let you know when my post about it is up!
DeleteAhhh...Bordeaux, we spent a glorious few days there last year. The wine is good! If you are there for the weekend head to the covered market Marche de Capucins. Stroll through the streets and discover the market full to the brim with seafood, fresh produce and character. Go hungry, oysters served with a glass of chilled wine, tapas, macarons, heaven!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your recommendation, Robyn! We headed over there because of your tip and had the BEST time ever browsing the stalls and enjoying the fruit de mer!
DeleteThank you, Maya! We had a wonderful time. I could actually imagine myself living there! I really appreciated the culture and the way of life ... it made me question why I'm living in London! xx
