FG pate rather than the “real” thing, and very scrummy it was too. Really, really good food and wine, shame it’s our last night in Bordeaux.

And finally 2 glasses of cremant rose. This is a really good place and had we discovered it when we arrived, we’d have move in.

On the trains again, off to next place. Will bung up some random pics from Bordeaux once we are off.
View at the mo. At the back end of the train so no loco snaps.

Oh, and my view for the next couple of hours. It’s a lovely single decker TGV, none of your mingie double decker ones that are really claustrophobic and feel you’re sitting down a hole in the lower deck.
