Episode of Bordeaux

Tomo&Chouchou went to Bordeaux by car. We parked our car near the park "Jardin Public", then we went to the town square "Place des Quinconces".
As soon as we approach there, we could find the shining white monument "Monument aux Girondins".
In the square, there are some shops to get some foods such as kebab, potato fries and sandwiches. We also saw antique market beside Place des Quinconces.

Next, we walked ahead to the Grand Théâtrede Bordeaux. As soon as we arrive there, we were impressed to see the beauty of the Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux.
On the gland floor, there is an elegant cafe. Around the Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux, there are very beautiful buildings, trams which run in front of the theatre, and fashionable shopping street. It looked very convenient and easy to live in Bordeaux.

After that, we went to Bordeaux Cathedral. Cathédrale Saint-André de Bordeaux is a typical Gothic cathedral in Southern France.

Lastly, we found the funny-designed courthouse "Palais de Justice".
For Tomo, the courthouse looked like a Japanese sweet "Takenoko no sato".
cf)Takenoko no sato is the Japanese sweet made with chocolates and cookies. The shape is bamboo shoot sprout.

We didn't have so much time to see around Bordeaux, so we saw only centre of Bordeaux. Bordeaux is a very big city and we got lost on the way to go to the centre and to go out from the city. Anyway we could see more beautiful row of French houses than one in Paris. Many people rode a bicycle on the street in Bordeaux. It's nice to have such an ecology mind! 
Bordeaux was very organized and beautiful city. We could experience a little bit of Bourgeois life in Bordeaux.
