Bordeaux
On The Médoc Route

Just after M guided the Fiat into an available spot (The Baron of Brooklyn never learned how to drive a stick and as you know automatic rentals in Europe are expensive and rare) a car pulled up alongside and very close. The driver was a very charming bordelaise of un certain age who counseled us on the beauties of Bordeaux, Cap Ferret and of most immediate benefit: where to have lunch.
