Leaving the Médoc for a journey
A Trip to Rhodes
It took us quite a while to decide on a trip to Greece. A good opportunity arose through the Soulac Accueille association: mid-September, the best
time to go, a well-organised trip, pleasant travelling companions, and an interesting itinerary – Rhodes...

On the beautiful blue Danube
Prague, Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest, plus a cruise on the Danube – something we had dreamed of for a long time, and at last the dream came true.

Maxted Travels with Modestine
We have spent the last couple of days staying in the very heart of Bordeaux with our friends Yves and Catherine who have given up their time to show

pleased to have taken...

Shopping in Bergerac
Through a friend, we heard about "More than soap", a small craft company that produces dream soaps sold by mail, but also in a small shop in the old
town of Bergerac. Nia, an aromatherapist from Wales, makes the soaps, and her husband Karim advises customers in front of house. Entering the shop is
a truly wonderful sensory experience: the fragrances are extraordinary and the products present a real treat for the eyes...
