Bordeaux day 1

This morning we did the city tour.The main stops were the Concert Hall and St Andrew's cathedral.
This cathedral was not destroyed in the French Revolution because the area still wanted the king. All the statues etc are still in the nitches.There are even remnants of mediaeval wall paintings.
One picture shows big and little chairs. The big chairs are for sitting, on and the little chairs are the kneelers.
The center of the city is moddled on Paris and it all looks very Parisian. We had to be careful not to be run over by trams or bikes. They,too, are saving the environment and cars are discouraged. Sounds familar?
