Loire Valley
Exploring more of France, now venturing out to Loire Valley. We visited Chateaus, went wine tasting, and even had a spa day.
Sitting in Café Corbon, enjoying an amazing meal, we told our waiter Antoine how special everything felt here. He shrugged with a grin, saying, 'This? This is everyday! It should not be only for special times..'
Love it! Thank you for the reminder Antoine!
We loved our stay at Auberge du bon Laboreur and enjoyed a lovely dinner there. Worth a visit!
Bordeaux
One of my 2024 goals was to learn all about wine. Not sure if I’ve gotten very far with this goal lol, but hoping my visit to Bordeaux somewhat makes up for months of slacking.
With how extensive the Cite du Vin is, we did learn so much!
My favorite were the smelling tubes (if these have a different name please let me know!) There was one with literal animal scents and this poor unsuspecting lady went up to it, smelled it and went “Bleck!” very loudly. She and I had a good laugh about it but my morbid curiosity went right up in that after her. Gotta love that animal or wet dog aromas which you might find with certain reds or aged wines. (I’m not quite sure I love it just yet lol)
