Lamarque, Gironde

We have travelled to the other side of the Gironde river today; about 3 miles across the water from Blaye. There is a ferry across the river .....but we are over the 3.5 ton weight limit....so we had to drive 60 miles instead around the estuary to get to Lamarque where we are staying tonight!!
As a consolation we have driven through the Medoc region which is well known for its vineyards. It was a picturesque drive.
There isn't a great deal at Lamarque but it puts us in a good position to drive to the west side of Medoc where we will be staying over the weekend.
We did find a very nice walk here though which we did after supper; after a rainy start to the day the evening was lovely and warm.
It's very quiet where we are parked up, just the sounds of nature!Read more
