The wine regions of Bordeaux are a large number of wine growing areas, differing widely in size and sometimes overlapping, which lie within the overarching wine region of Bordeaux, centred on the city of Bordeaux and covering the whole area of the Gironde department of Aquitaine.
The Bordeaux region is naturally divided by the Gironde Estuary into a Left Bank area which includes the Médoc and Graves and a Right Bank area which includes the Libournais, Bourg and Blaye.
The Médoc is itself divided into Haut-Médoc (the upstream or southern portion) and Bas-Médoc (the downstream or northern portion, often referred to simply as Médoc).
There are various sub-regions within the Haut-Médoc, including St-Estèphe, Pauillac, St-Julien and Margaux and the less well known areas of AOC Moulis and Listrac.
Graves includes the sub-regions of Pessac-Léognan and Sauternes (among others), and Sauternes in turn includes the sub-region of Barsac.
The Libournais includes the sub-regions of Saint-Émilion and Pomerol (among others).
There is an additional wine region of Entre-Deux-Mers, so called because it lies between the Garonne and Dordogne rivers, which combine to form the Gironde.
This region contains several less well known sweet wine areas of Cadillac and St. Croix de Mont.
All of these regions (except the Libournais) have their own appellation and are governed by Appellation d'origine contrôlée laws which dictate the permissible grape varieties, alcohol level, methods of pruning and picking, density of planting and appropriate yields as well as various winemaking techniques.
Bordeaux wine labels will usually include the region on the front if all the grapes have been harvested in a specific region and the wine otherwise complies with the AOC requirements.
There are about 50 AOCs applicable to the Bordeaux region.
Both red and white Bordeaux wines are almost invariably blended.
The permissible grape varieties in red Bordeaux are: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot.
While wine making styles vary, a rule of thumb is that the Left Bank is predominately Cabernet Sauvignon based with the Right Bank being more Merlot based.
The Graves area produces both red wine (from the grapes previously mentioned) and white wine from the Sauvignon blanc, Sémillon and Muscadelle grapes.
The area of Sauternes (including Barsac) is known for its botrytized dessert wines.

Places to see in ( Niort - France )
Places to see in ( Niort - France )
Niort is a large town situated on the Sèvre river about half way between Poitiers and La Rochelle in the Poitou-Charentes region of western France. Niort has an interesting historical centre, with houses dating from the medieval and renaissance eras and also several monuments of interest to discover, as well as a substantial amount of more recent development - it is an important centre for local business and finance in this region of France.
The old and new parts of central Niort are separated by the large Place de la Breche. It is the historical centre that is of interest to visitors. Start your visit perhaps with a stroll across the bridge in the centre of Niort, which gives nice views across the town and the church as well as the donjon.
The Donjon, on the river banks in Niort, is a major part of a medieval castle and the most important monument in Niort that dominates the town centre. In part the donjon dates from the 12th century, when it was built in the roman style by Henry II (Henry Plantagenet) and Richard the Lionheart, and is one of the largest castles from this period that remains in France.
The building includes two adjacent donjons separated by a logis: the two donjons are similar in design but one is a few metres taller than the other, both have round towers in each corner. The views across Niort from the donjon terraces are a highlight of a visit, and there is also a Museum of Ethnology and Archaeology to visit in the building.
On an island in the river just across from the donjon you can see Fort Foucault, the tower of which is the remains of a 12th century castle. The Pilori is an interesting renaissance style building dating from the 14th century that was once the town hall for Niort. The building takes its name from the pillory that previously stood here. The whole building, in particular around the doors and windows, features decorative stonework. The pilori is now used as an exhibition center for local artists.
There are several churches in Niort of which the most important is the Church of Notre-Dame, built in the gothic style in the 14th-16th centuries. The tall spire of the church makes it the tallest building in the Deux-Sevres department. Also in Niort you will see the Church of Saint-André, a 19th century rebuilding of a medieval church that originally stood here and clearly identified by its two tall symmetrical spires; the small Church of Saint-Florent (roman style, 11th century) which has some unusual engravings inset in the church walls; and the Church of Saint-Etienne (19th century, built in neo-gothic style).
The Town hall in Niort is an imposing neo-renaissance style building with a large central campanile built at the end of the 19th century. The 19th century market hall, a large structure built in the glass and steel design that was popular at the time (1869). It is one of the most impressive market halls of this type in France, and the market itself has a very extensive range of fresh produce available. Markets are held here every day except Monday with those on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday being the largest.
Elsewhere as you explore Niort old town you will see several half-timbered houses dating from the 15th and 16th centuries. The Maison de la Vierge is particularly interesting because it has a statue of the Virgin and child in one corner. Next to te Niort Tourist Office on Rue Brisson you will enjoy exploring the many arts and craft shops along the Quai des Arts. If you are looking for presents to take away with you this is the place to find them.

Ла-Рок-Гажак, Аквитания, Франция. La Roque-Gageac, Aquitaine, France
Дордонь, Аквитания. Второе большое путешествие по Франции, июль 2018 года. July 2018.
Ла-Рок-Гажак - удивительной красоты деревня, прилепившаяся к отвесной скале на берегу реки Дордонь. Очень маленькая — всего-то ряд домов, зажатых между скалами и рекой. Входит в Ассоциацию «Самые красивые деревни Франции» (Les Plus Beaux Villages de France) и даже выигрывала соревнование как «самая красивая деревня Франции».
Ла-Рок-Гажак классифирована 3-ей в списке лучших достопримечательностей Франции, уступая только Мон-Сен-Мишелю и Рокамадуру (в Мон-Сен-Мишеле мы побывали в 2014-м, а в Рокамадур отправились позже, потом сделаю фотоальбом). В этом месте первобытные люди и их прародители селились с доисторических времен – в пещерах над рекой. Изображения Ла-Рок-Гажака часто можно встретить на календарях и путеводителях по Франции.
French rivers with Scenic | Bike riding through Bordeaux with David Whitehill
David explores the beautiful Bordeaux region in France.
For more information visit:
Read below for full transcript:
a trip to France isn't just about experiencing the icons of glittering Paris. As you step out of the big cities the country side comes alive with the culture, history and heart of the French way of life.
We've joined Scenic for a twelve day river cruising experience through the stunning region of Bordeaux.
One of the great experiences that you can have here with Scenic is that you can come out here on one of these electric bikes and enjoy the French countryside and I think this is one of the best ways to really get a sense of what it's all about and how the locals live;
Just a word of warning though they do have a little bit of a kick.
I have to say this is one of life's simple pleasures; with the wind in your hair and the smell of grapes ripening in the vineyards, the French passion for wine is impossible to ignore.
Of course this incredible region and most importantly it's precious vines needed some very serious protection, so they employed a genius engineer by the name of Vauba; whose role it was really to fortify France.
This citadel here in Blaye was one of his masterpieces and it kept those nasty invading English off to the west and those lovely baguette eating French folk protected and safe off to the east. But I mean who in their right mind would want to go up against this?
The Blaye Citadel is one of the most impressive fortifications in France and has been listed as a World Heritage Site. It’s kept Bordeaux safe since the 17th century and it's now one of her most visited attraction.
With Bordeaux's rich history and wine it makes sense that one of the world's most famous drops calls this area home; the town of Cognac is our next Scenic stop.
My guide Francois gives me the tour around Chateau de Cognac.
It’s starring role in the town's history dates back over a thousand years.
The black mold on many of the walls here is famous to this region, it feeds on the evaporating cognac while it’s in production.
It's an eye-opening look at this age old tradition with some of the spirits here well over 300 years old.
This is just fascinating, they actually need these spiders in the cognac industry to keep the termites out of the barrels but if you have a really close look at their web it's quite haphazard, that’s because the little fellas are drunk. I kid you not.
And on that note Francois make sure I get a taste of why Bordeaux is such a popular destination for travelers.
El vídeo de nuestra visita a Burdeos durante el viaje por Francia en una furgoneta Volkswagen T4 camperizada de un modo sencillo.
Burdeos se encuentra en el suroeste de Francia, justo por encima de las Landas. Es una ciudad muy bonita, en la cual podría vivir un tiempo. Tiene río, el mar a poca distancia, gente joven, viajeros, y buen vino jejeje.
El viaje por Francia fue algo más de una semana desde Segovia hasta el norte de Francia. Los lugares del viaje de los que hice vídeo fueron:
La Duna de Pilat

St. Emilion France
Bordeaux wine country, with St. Emilion the jewel in the crown.
Papal palace, Avignon, Vaucluse, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France, Europe
The Papal palace is a historical palace located in Avignon, southern France. It is one of the largest and most important medieval Gothic buildings in Europe. Once a fortress and palace, the papal residence was the seat of Western Christianity during the 14th century. Six papal conclaves were held in the Palais, leading to the elections of Benedict XII in 1334, Clement VI in 1342, Innocent VI in 1352, Urban V in 1362, Gregory XI in 1370 and Antipope Benedict XIII in 1394. The Palais is actually two joined buildings: the old palais of Benedict XII, which sits on the impregnable rock of Doms, and the new palais of Clement VI, the most extravagant of the Avignon popes. Together they form the largest Gothic building of the Middle Ages, it is also one of the best examples of the International Gothic architectural style. The construction design was the work of two of France’s best architects, Pierre Peysson and Jean du Louvres and the lavish ornamentation was the work of two of the best students of the School of Siena (Italy), Simone Martini and Matteo Giovanetti. In addition, the papal library housed in the Palais (the largest in Europe at the time with over 2,000 volumes), attracted a group of clerics passionate in the study of belle-lettres, amongst them the founder of Humanism, Petrarch. At the same time, composers, singers and musicians were drawn to the Great Chapel of the Palais. It was there that Clement VI appreciated the Mass of Notre-Dame of Guillaume de Machaut, there that Philippe de Vitry at the pope’s invitation presented his Ars Nova and there that Johannes Ciconia came to study. Due to its immense size, the Palais was also the place where the general organisation of the Church began to change. It facilitated the centralisation of services and the adaptation of operations in order to suit the needs of the papacy, creating a truly central administration for the Church. The manpower of the Curia (Church administration), while 200 at the end of the 13th century, surpassed 300 at the beginning of the 14th century and reached 500 people in 1316. To this were added over 1,000 lay officials working within the Palais. Despite this, the Palais became obsolete when the papacy found it necessary to return to Rome. The hope of reuniting Latin and Orthodox Christians, along with the achievement of peace in the Papal States in Italy, made the case of returning stronger. Added to that was the strong conviction of both Urban V and Gregory XI that the seat of the papacy could only be the tomb of St Peter. Despite strong opposition from the Court of France and the College of Cardinals, both popes found the means to return to Rome, the first, on 30 April 1362, the second on 13 September 1370. This time, the return was absolute. In the following centuries, the Palais lost all of its former glory, despite it serving as the seat of two anti-popes and many cardinals. It retained, however, a “work of destruction” aspect that French poets and writers such as Charles Forbes René de Montalembert have referred to over the centuries, with its powerful sense of beauty, simplicity, grandeur and immortality. Since 1995, the Palais des Papes has been classified, along with the historic center of Avignon, as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, under cultural criteria i, ii and iv.
