The tower next to the Cathedral of St. Pierre |
 |
St. Pierre Cathedral; sort of weird...the two enormous towers are on the north transept; it is a humongous building, one of the largest I have seen; but, as they were conducting some sort of service (the nerve! did they clear this with the Office de Tourisme?!), I was not able to explore; or take pix |
 |
| Closer up of the two towers |
 |
The cathedral's weird west facade, with an even weirder flying buttress at the SW corner |
 |
Hotel de Ville |
 |
Courtyard of the Hotel de Ville |
 |
Part of the Musee de Beaux Artes; or, possibly GatorLand |
 |
I am not sure what this was...possibly Bordeaux's answer to the Pompidiou |
 |
One of the old district's remaining 15th century portals |
 |
Back in the Esplanade, a giant statue of my favorite French philosopher, Montaigne |
 |
Our campsite for two nights; I was quite taken with Bordeaux |
