Today we drove over to the Médoc area north of Bordeaux to follow the wine route of the region.
There were no tastings as it is Sunday today and typical of France everything is closed.
The wine Châteaux are very impressive buildings in the Médoc, it has been a premium wine region for hundreds of years, creating huge wealth.
Here are just some of the many Châteaux that we saw and could stop and take a photo of as we passed.
And there were a couple of new and modern ones as well.
Being Sunday not many of the restaurants were open so we had to resort to lunch at the golf club in Margaux. Jim was very impressed with the course and we enjoyed our lunch of Caesar salad, Salmon carpaccio and Sea Bream fillets served with mild curried lentils and vegetables.

Oh fabulous structures. The new addition looked sort of out of place 🤔 although I’m sure it’s lovely. Shame you had to slum it at the golf course 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Enjoy 💕
They certainly did look out of place but I guess the younger generation of wine makers what to make an impression as well.
Food looks amazing so fresh. Beautiful buildings.
We had not been unhappy with any of our meals. They are delicious.
