Because of the machine, my friend considered this salami should be something. The perfect allocation of fat and meat proved it was a right bet. The pickles on the side reduced the oily feeling of the sausage.

Bordeaux, Paradise for Wine and Seafood Lovers - Le Petit Commerce
Again, Le Petit Commerce was a good pick by my friend's intuition. We ordered this seafood platter packed by at least 8 kinds of seafood at Euro 30 something, a very good price in term of quality and variety. The oysters were full of taste of sea water; the clams were as fresh as sashimi; the edible crab (half) was full of eggs , etc. A perfect dinner.

Bordeaux, Paradise for Wine and Seafood Lovers - Grand Hotel de Bordeaux
We were starving after booked a chateau tour at the tourist information centre. My friend found this restaurant at Grand Hotel de Bordeaux offering 2-course set lunch at Euro20.
Given the presentation and taste, this lunch was in very good value. Look the poached egg is softly lays on parma ham and veggies.
Seafood soup, one of traditional French soup. Ingredient is crucial to a dish, in term of freshness and quantity. The chef gave generously to cook this rich in taste soup. And price of seafood in coastal cities is usually cheaper. No wonder my friend reminded me often we should have seafood in Bordeaux rather than in Paris. This soup really brought me an awesome start of the seafood gourmet trip.
Being a big producer (and consumer) of wine, the pricing of wine is also very attractive in Bordeaux. I had some even I am not a wine lover. It is good to try the local speciality of the place where you are

Bordeaux, Paradise for Wine and Seafood Lovers - Snapshots
I don't know why many buildings in France are in long and narrow shape, which make the space looks smaller than it is. Moreover, may buildings are without lifts and air-conditioners because they are built long time ago.
This arch divides high street and not so high street.
This sculpture looks very 3D no matter from which angle.
Signage of the building in the past.
A place where kids are crazy for. Nothing is better than playing in water in hot summer.
A tower from a church?
Beautiful water lilies in a garden.

Paris, Heaven for Foodies and Heiratage Lover - Heading to Bordeaux
My friend suggested to add one more city to the itinerary. Shortlisted candidates included Bordeaux, Mt St Michel, Normandy, and the final winner was - Bordeaux.
The Paris Montparnasse station was patrolled by police and soldiers.
A machine which I did not have time to check its job scope.
A croissant from Paul, a chain of bakery / cafe in France.
It took us 3 hours to arrive Bordeaux. The St Jeans looks more historical than the Montparnasse.
Inter-city train.
The exterior of the train station under super strong sunshine.

Paris, Heaven for Foodies and Heiratage Lovers - Le Palais Garnier
The front of Le Palais Garnier. It is impossible to get a shot without tourist, even at night.
The back of the Opera, lucky to get rid of crowd.
Despite of the size, its interior is as luxurious as a palace.If you don't have sufficient time to visit Chateau de Versailles, Le Palais Garnier is a choice to appreciate the magnificent architectures in the ancient French. The sparkling gold background and the ceiling painting of the foyer is similar to those in palaces.
The renowned grand staircase is the attention of many tourists. I was more interested in the sculptures everywhere in the Opera.
More about the interiors.
Some outfits for stage performance. Le Palais Garnier is where the classic ballet arises.
The home of the Phantom of the Opera. The interior of the auditorium is a bit too loud. Should the audience appreciate the performance on stage or the decorations around?
A stage backdrop model in the library.
