At cottages4you, we know how much so many Britons love a holiday in France.
With lots of beautiful areas to explore, along with outstanding food and luscious wines, we can see why.
On your next trip across the channel, you might want to spend some time in Bordeaux, which promises to offer you all you could wish for from a Gallic holiday.
Even if you’re just passing through on the way to your holiday cottage, you should make time to sample some of the best-tasting oysters in the country.
Apolline Belondrade, spokesperson at Bordeaux Tourisme, suggests La Boite a Huitre, which is right in the centre of the city.
"To finish your stay, don’t miss the Ice Bar of Bordeaux, one of the largest in Europe, where you’ll be able to drink frozen vodka in a unique atmosphere," she suggests, although make sure you’re not driving afterwards!
If you want to take a taste of Bordeaux with you, the Comptoir Boredelais next to the Grand Theatre is a vital stop-off, she adds.
Of course, one of the main attractions of the area is its delicious wine, so be sure to pick up a bottle on your travels.
A votre sante!
