Note to self: Never, never ever, watch Les Frenchies on an empty stomach! Man, that video was such a pleasure to watch. Thank you.

I was in Bordeaux for the first time last year en route to the Lascaux caves. I want to go back and explore even more.

Also note about the tram system. There is no overhead catenary to supply power to spoil the city views. It uses an induction system between the rails which energize only when a tram is present. It's ingenious.

As an American that has been living in Bordeaux for 2 years, loved seeing the city through your eyes. I think you may have needed 2 more days! So sad that I missed seeing Les Frenchies in the wild! Please come back soon.

Hi Antoine and Colleen! We are currently in Paris and your tips have helped us tremendously. We have been watching your channel for the past 16 months as we planned the trip, and the advice you have given has been the most valuable resource we've had, and we heartily thank you! Our 25th anniversary vacation has been wonderful!

And I don't care what anyone says about French people being rude, they have all been nothing but kind, generous, and helpful to us. My wife got stuck when her Navigo card didn't work, and a kind lady used her card to help us through. We also approached the train station at Montparnasse from the back when we went to Versailles, and another kind lady walked us to where we needed to be. Amazing people.

Antoine is the best conductor. He directs the orchestra of food in front of him with perfect harmonies.

Je suis français, j’habite Bordeaux et je regarde vos vidéos avec un grand plaisir!! Vous êtes radieux et certainement très sympathiques!!
Vous avez un nouveau fan!

I just returned from a three week trip through Le Perigord and I can't wait to return - Bordeaux is wonderful! I loved everything about it. So much to do, wonderful people, fabulous restaurants. I visited Arcachon, Sarlat, Cahors, Toulouse, Lascaux, Rouffignac, St Emilion, and quite a few other places - even visited a black truffle farm. The trip of a lifetime.

"I have a spoon and I'm not afraid to use it!" Love it!🤣

I lived in Bordeaux for two years some time ago. It is an amazing city, one of the most beautiful in France, and in culinary terms, it is up there with the best. And I absolutely fell in love with cannelés: Not only are they my favourite Bordelais specialty, they have become my favourite French pastry.

[titteryenot]

Bordeaux has the look and feel of a warmer, sunnier Paris. All that 18th century stone and river-setting, you could be forgiven for thinking the first few Parisian arrondissements had been dragged 200 miles south. Bordeaux clearly is lovely; open, but with a manageable feeling of ‘see all my important bits in a day’. All it really lacked was a core of tightly packed narrow streets opening out onto a few squares and perhaps a nice Plaza Mayor centrepiece. Everything seemed like I was wandering around the French version of Edinburgh’s New Town when I wanted a bit of tumbledown Old Town magic too!

[nonokbh]

As an expatriate Frenchie you made me feel so nostalgic. I am back (no too far) soon and will rampage the restaurants, brasseries and bouchons once back ! and loads of wine, c'est la vie !!

[nicolasnikopag]

Also guys, I recommend visiting Toulouse (place du capitole, canal du midi, basilique st sernin) and the city of Carcasonne especially on 14th July when you can see the conflagration of the city

[BadMonkeyTouring]

Wow! That's a nice apartment. I'd be soaking in that tub with a glass of Rosé for sure.

Hopped over to Provence without a thank you. Realizing what I did, or didn’t do, I hopped back. Oops! I believe the results will be the same so it should be fine. If not, I will try not to repeat that. This video, more than any of them, is an amazing reminder of how husband and I traveled together. It was like a mirror, thank you! I had forgotten. As the normal anger has faded (it took a year!!! He would have been 75 last week), this was probably the nicest way to pull up to something we both enjoyed. Travel and food and sharing a full dessert. Around the US. Husband and daughter both traveled and enjoyed international destinations (military leave, both of them) and were fluent in French but I have only flown over Canada to Alaska and and am just a typical English speaking American monoglot and will try to learn French but doubt my ability to converse in another language. Doesn’t matter except that our similarities gave me a smile and a warm fuzzy for the day and just want to thank you! Thanks!!!

❤Just returned from France Colleen and Antoine, unexpected: seeing French striped sweaters everywhere and thinking how Colleen has made it her brand! Your videos helped tremendously in my solo journey, also discovered a very helpful resource I had never considered: the French Tourism Bureaus: they were fabulous: helped me arrange Loire Castle trips, trains, and even called cabs for me. And with a big smile and friendliness every time. This incredible resource deserves a video. I lived in France and have been traveling here 20 years and sorry I did not consider using it until this trip. It made my Loire Valley visit easy and effortless. Thank you Colleen and Antoine for what you are doing to make French Travel fabulous ❤❤❤❤

Once I was in Bordeaux, and travelled to Arcachon nearby to try one of its restaurants for lunch. I couldn't find any seat. I should have made a reservation two weeks before leaving Paris!

[gardenroom]

Looks divine, I’m ordering a bottle of red in your honour in 🇬🇧

[mrpeel]

Loved the Audrey Tautou-ish waitress near the end!

[raymondmiller]

Yet another stellar video! We flew back to California from CDG just two weeks ago, and we'd fly right back to France if we could. We'll add Bordeaux to next Fall's itinerary, without a doubt.

[JimCDC]

Again, you've hit another home run with this one. It's about a 10 hour drive for us from Tuscany so it's easily done. It's now on our French bucket list. Again, merci!
