This morning we drove 2 hours west to Bordeaux. A significant city that was mostly re-built in the 18th century. Previously a very busy & important river port, Bordeaux is a very grand city.
We have a guided tour in the coach for an hour. BIG monuments, wonderfully picturesque streets and masses of trees. Then we had a one hour walking tour. The mixed styles of many of the buildings is just lovely and wow are those fountains big or what??

I hear, from the horses mouth, that three fully grown women had a ride on a Carousel. Was it this one? Were the horses wheezing after their efforts? Will they ever be the same again?
