The author’s word :
Bordeaux is my city and I explore it since I am a child. Still today I continue to discover new things, Bordeaux has known huge changements in the last ten years.
Bordeaux is very famous for its wines, and today it is a great destination for turism. But Bordeaux is not only wine, it is also a destination for all lovers of architecture, history, nature…
Through these sections I wanted to bring my feelings to my city, a view that focuses mainly on wines, but not only. This is an opportunity for me to share with you my love for my city and also to express other passions.
