Day 4 Biking About

We picked up our bikes about 10am and headed off. Soooo much to see. Bordeaux is the most bike friendly city we’ve ever been in - lovely long paths along each side of La Garonne River, tons of walking streets, large separate lanes for bikes, other lanes for bikes & busses. On occasion you have to go down the tram tracks - being careful not to get caught in the tracks - but if a tram comes, it stops and you can quickly get over.

Sooo many pics today as we biked about - around the river, over the bridges, & through many parts of town. Parks, statues & monuments everywhere - lots of people running, scooting, biking, and working out & playing in the parks. Loved it.

As our « new best friend » Peppy had told us to go to Market Tavern Wed night, we wandered down to the Marché des Chartrons area for dinner first, then to the Tavern. Dinner was good but unfortunately the Tavern was not our scene - packed with young folks and loud screaming live music. We didn’t last long there.Read more
