?? 20 hours in Bordeaux, France
a story by a swiss local guide ??
I went for a week to the Ile d’Oléron for my summer holidays. Last year, I writed a post and I had already talked about it here.
This year, I went through Bordeaux to go and come back from my holidays. I only stayed there for 20 hours.
I fell in love with this city (France) and I decided to show you my discoveries.
All addresses are quickly accessible on this Google Maps list : https://goo.gl/maps/fh1YjXnfVbSMmiSi8
Siman Restaurant ? : restaurant bar with an exceptional quality and view
I arrived late in Bordeaux maybe around 9pm and I wanted to eat well with a good atmosphere. It was the first restaurant that Google Maps showed me and it was really good with a very nice view of Bordeaux. It has been faboulous !
Le Lion de Veilhan ? : Giant statue of a Lion in the center
I was walking towards the city centre when I saw this magnificent and big lion (statue). It made me think of the Lion King and I decided to take a picture of it.
In July 2015, this statue turned 10 years old, so he’s turning 15 this year!
Le miroir d’eau 
: Reflect and refesh place !
When I’m in a city and I see a place with +10k ratings and very positive, I really want to see what it is!
This place allows you to see the reflection of the buildings in front of Place de la bourse. In summer (the period I was there) and in the middle of the day, it is difficult to see its reflections because there are many children and families playing.
Still, I enjoyed the place very much and it allowed me to refresh myself and take a special picture.
La Boulangerie Saint-Michel ? : Best bread and simple pastry
One of the things I love to do in France ??: Eat ! Especially in the morning with the bakeries. I was walking around and I came across this very simple bakery, but when I saw the queue of people, I realised that it would be good.
The ferris wheel ? : Back to childhood and a magnificent view of Bordeaux
I had still 3 hours in Bordeaux before I had to go and I already seen this wonderful Ferris wheel when I ate at the Siman restaurant (if you look at the first picture in this post, you can see it in small blue). It was strange for me because it was the first time I had been on a Ferris wheel all alone.
And you tell me…

to Bordeaux 
with Easyjet and everybody must wore a mask since enter the airport until exit. After I’ve taken a uber in Bordeaux and same thing, I wore a mask inside. In the city it was only on shop that I had to wore a mask. Otherwise, it was pretty normal. I’m little lucky because rules changes after the end of my France trip. Now tyou must wear a mask in every enclosed place.
