D'Orsay Museum. 

Only pictures I could take, but it was fabulous.

Ron' favourite place. 

Mile after mile o beautifully tended vineyards. Very impressive.

We took a cooking class. The chef came from a Michelin 2 star restaurant and now is the executive chef at a five star hotel. 

We made scallops 

And fish

And a lemon dessert.

The famous Chateau Margeau, foremost of the Bordeaux Chateaux

An oyster feast on board the ship. Learned to shuck oysters. 

Another chateau in Bordeaux. There are 9000 Chateaux in Bordeaux. To acheive Chateau designation, the grapes must be grown, crushed, aged and bottled on the premises. Some are very small, one is in a garage, calls his wine Chateau Garage. Some as you see are very opulent.
