Gironde


A family holiday, started with an early morning departure and a coffee break at a rest stop. It was a little fresh as you can see by the jackets and beanie.


He was happy to get out of the car for a break, so it was a good opportunity to get some nice photos.





Lunch on the road. Thanks Ton ton Parrain.


We rented a farm house near Bordeaux, which was comfortable.


More food. Greedy boy.


Papy's turn to give the bottle.


Then a bedtime story.



Chateaux Birot. Too bad you changed your name dear!

Mum, giving instructions on how to open your mouth.

A picnic out of the wind in St Emilion.

A beautiful courtyard in Saint-Emilion.



View from the top.



On the farm there were a few animals to keep us entertained.
Including this porker.(See photo below please!!)



We discovered some animals with Mamy.


Above, everyone in front of the farm.
Below, almost everyone, except the person who tried to jump over the garden wall and didn't make it in time. What an athlete.

We visited the dune du Pilat. It's the biggest sand dune in Europe. Time and Effie made me want to see it, and they had a great time there last year.


That's a lot of sand.










Look who got to carry an extra 6kg up the dune.




Oysters and wine anyone?


David in front of and on the artistic bridge in Bordeaux.


Two clowns.


Bordeaux's Miroir d'eau. It's a granite surface of about 5000m² that fills up with 2cm of water, creating a wonderful reflection.




Dinner at the farm, notice someone has started before the rest?
