Located
in southwestern France, Bordeaux is our only region where a corkscrew
rates higher in importance than a tire repair kit. This region boasts
over 500 chateaux (Bordeaux's term for vineyards), producing some of
the most bodacious (our term for fantastic) cabernets and merlots in
the world. Wine-making superstars such as Haut-Brion, Latour, Lafitte
Rothschild, and Mouton Rothschild, to name a few, all originate from
here.
There are plenty of eye-dazzles too. The works of
Delacroix, Matisse, Renoir, and Rubens grace Bordeaux's Musee' de Beaux
Arts. The sleepy village of Saint Emilion abounds with Gothic
architecture dating back to the 13th century. And south, near the
coastal town of Arcachon, the Dune du Pyla towers 115 meters (377 feet
for the metrically challenged) high, making it the largest dune in
Europe.
The sensory WOW-treat is not
limited to taste,with an impressive network of bikeways and quiet rural roads, Bordeaux offers ideal cycling conditions. There we offer trips focusing on the Medoc or on the Entre-Deux-Mers, the area wedged between the Garonne river and the Dordogne river.
