The Great Euro Trip of 2022 Pt. 7

 Our next stop was Blaye, and we were in luck.  The weekend feature a huge wine festival in the old citadel.


A mere portion of the festivities...


White asparagus was popular this time of year...


The citadel itself is an amazing feature, quite expansive.  It was built, along with another on the opposite shore, to defend the river from invasion (way back when).  






Our intrepid duo on the bastions...


Can't have a wine fest without a brass band...


 And a little brass band music...


Finally, a wine fest needs a car show.  A Citroen car club gathered its members to parade their vintage autos.




My favorite, the red one with the Citadel in the background...  so cool!
