Le Parc de Majolan

Our niece, Piper, has encouraged us by all her park adventures to find some in France too. We have! Le Parc de Majolan was gorgeous and we walked a little over 2 miles.

This park was built in the late 1800s by diverting a swamp to create lakes and creeks around various Roman and Renaissance era ruins. There are many small caves in the park which are off limits to explore. It’s a great little treasure in the suburbs of Bordeaux.

A good way to spend the morning of a “do nothing” day. However, we did go to 7 antique stores/brocante shops. We love to checkout old stuff. The morning was not so good. Only 1 of our places was open (despite posting that they are open). It was a little high end and furniture brocante. We went to the park then had lunch back at the Airbnb. Then we set off again for a few stores and again all were closed but one. Ugh! 😑 we did have fun driving around the area and the parc was a great find.

We leave in the morning for Nantes, a quick stop over before we head to Rouen early next week.Les mer
