Today we went to see La Cité du Vin
The entrance to the locks connecting the old submarine pens to the river Garonne
This looks like the place. It’s meant to suggest a decanter.
This steampunk apparatus lets you smell a variety of fragrances (some not so fragrant).
Two glasses of Bordeaux wine to round off our visit.
This ferocious fellow guards the entrance to the maritime museum.
Gerhild is just about one mouthful
Once we got past the shark we found these costumes ready for a parade, each based on a famous painting.
See if you can identify Magritte, Ernst, De Chirico, Léger, Munch, Arp, Brauner, Malévitch…
Don‘t ask why these are in the maritime museum – I haven‘t a clue. Website.
Everything is possible but we just can‘t imagine it.
Time to head for home
