The Great Euro Trip of 2022 Pt. 6

 Reaching Bordeaux, we immediately boarded the boat (ship?) and began our cruising up and down the Garonde and Dordogne rivers.  First stop was Libourne, but St. Emilion was the first tour.  We went rogue with Miriam hiring a taxi to take us for lunch at a small cafe she found on a previous trip.  Lunch was fine, but it was the desert to die for...  Grand Marnier soufflé!

After lunch, we walked around the town...  spectacular views of the village and surroundings.

 And a nice side street...  note the dog that seemed to wander all over the town, pooping in inconvenient places. 

Part of the tour was an underground church.  Pics were hard in the dark, but here are a couple signs describing the site, a feature of this medieval, romanesque village.

The next day, we walked around Libourne.  Let's start with the town hall.

The city hall is at a large, central square.  Below the square is an amazing market.  Every kind of food, meats, fish, veggies, baked goods, prepared foods that you can imagine...  in this huge, underground space.  Way too much to photo, and I couldn't find a good link,  but I would have bought one of everything...  Wandering around I found a very unusual store front, but a pic of this will have to wait, stay tuned...
