I was born in Paris and lived there for most of my life until I moved to Bordeaux for a new job to work for a wine company. During my time here, I completely fell in love with Bordeaux, as well as Strasbourg and Reims, and truly discovered what we call in French art de vivre (the art of living).

We met in the morning in the center of the city near the Tourist Office and traveled in a comfortable minibus about 40 minutes to visit different places, very close to each other, but different, one has an interesting history and the other presents modern technologies in the process of making wine. So it's a very good idea to compile history and high technology in one go without spending a
