Paris & Bordeaux
My favorite long weekend away. Start with a good day and a half in Paris; I like to call it a "Bonjour and a Half." On Friday afternoon we'll take an express train south for 3 nights in Bordeaux; including a wine & charcuterie welcome at a very instagram-able wine bar loved for its local selection, an immersive sensory experience at the wine museum (le Cite du Vin) that ends with a tasting, visit a local vineyard (Château de Malherbes) for outdoor yoga (weather permitting) and a tour/tasting, and lots of great food in a 4th Century French city that was built by the Roman Empire; it's safe/friendly and fun to explore. Finish off the weekend with an express train back to Paris for another Bonjour and a Half before flying back home on October 7th.
Yoga every day, hydration every night.
