I’m back with more from my amazing to France. Today I am sharing some French excursions you might want to work into your itinerary if you make it to the outer Bordeaux area of France. If you don’t have a trip planned, no worries, come with me! Planning a trip to France, add these french excursions to your vacation itenerary.

You can see more of where I stayed and I definitely recommend hitting up a French brocante while you are there. You will want to add the sweet town of Saint Emilion to your vacation plans. It is located North East of Bordeaux and is jam backed with charming cobblestone streets, shops and wine.

You will want to climb the winding stairs of the Bell Tower for some of the most stunning views you can imagine. You get a key to the tower across the cobblestone open area in the visitor’s center. Planning a trip to France, add these french excursions to your vacation itenerary.

    I had the good fortune to spend “une année scolaire” (A school year) in the Bordeaux area. I lived in Bergerac, France, which was also in the southwest part of France. I shall never forget my good fortune and God’s hand, of course, in allowing me such a fabulous adventure! I became a French teacher here in Memphis, Tennessee, where my hubbie and I have two children, both now grown. I taught French for a number of years in a LaSallian high school called Christian Brothers High School. The school was originally founded by St. Jean-Baptiste de la Salle, who is now a Catholic saint. I really enjoyed your blog and look forward to some more information on what is going on in your neck of the woods. Bon courage! Go with the Lord.
