Bordeaux is the capital of Aquitaine in SW France. I'll begin with the Chartrons district which is the wine trading district, North of the town. The photos were taken in 2006.

The "Quinconces" divides the town in two : North are the Chartrons and Bacalan

Bordeaux is so beautiful. I like that entire region (although my last visit was way back in 92...when I was 8 years old).
