Travel/Food 2018 – French Road Trip, Day 14, Pugnac, Bordeaux, Saint Emilion, Pau
Friday, May 18th – Day 14, Pugnac, Bordeaux, Saint Emilion, Pau A comprehensive repacking of the car was needed, because today we would be moving on, back to Pau for the Historic Grand Prix, by way of the vineyards we’d visited on Wednesday, but with a stop off in Bordeaux so we could see more…
Travel/Food 2018 – French Road Trip, Day 13, Pugnac, Bordeaux, Bourg, Blaye
Thursday, May 17th – Day 13, Pugnac, Bordeaux, Bourg, Blaye My day once again started with a run through the vineyards, this time running down every single side road I could find, before returning, hot and sweaty, to the house.

Travel 2018 – French Road Trip, Day 10, Pau, Gan, Aydie, Pugnac
Monday, May 14th – Day 10, Pau, Gan, Aydie, Pugnac A serious repack of the car was needed, so I spent some time in the underground car park moving stuff about and reconfiguring the seats. This was essential if we wanted to get any wine into the boot, as well as if we wanted to…
