Last night as I looked over to the bridge I could see “something” under the bridge arches, and this morning with it being low tide, I could clearly see that these are Armco barrier type structures, similar to those on the side of our UK motorways. These are obviously in place to stop commercial boats hitting/damaging the bridge.

We had a bit of a relaxing/lazy morning, before heading out to look around the city, and we both think it is extremely interesting with lovely old buildings throughout the area in which we were walking.

We also found the public park and think we might have surprised a statue by walking in so quietly……………………….

If ever anyone is sailing down the French coast, Bordeaux would certainly be worth the detour, especially as there is this visitors pontoon. Yachts can now sail down with their masts up and thus allow sailors to explore this lovely city.

O’ and by the way this is a shot of the surprised statue from a different angle 😉
