On today's show, we visit the lovely city of Bordeaux on the Atlantic coast. So all the way west. What do you mean? No, my dear. Oh, it's not on the Atlantic coast? Oh, no, it's not on the Atlantic. Well, it's not right on the Atlantic. I know it's a hundred

kilometers from the ocean. Right right but I mean it but I mean it's like

towards the Atlantic and south. It's towards the Atlantic it's on the

estuary called the gerund. That's right. I knew that. Okay it's famous for

wine making of course it's famous for a lot of things and at least will tell us all about it.

All right, now a little music to get us in the mood and we'll come back and talk about

Bordeaux. the Oh, great. All right at least, so what you have prepared for us on Bordeu?

Well, let's start with now, and then maybe this time we can work our way back, because

Bordeaux has actually a very very interesting and very sometimes

movemented and controversial history. Okay yeah but it is controversial. Controversial, yeah.

But of course, when most people hear Bordeaux,

they think of the wine.

Of course.
