On the road from Bordeaux to Toulouse


The approach of Bordeaux is visible with the frequence of pines forests. They surrounds the highway, recording the drivers they are again close to the sea.

The city itself is crossed by the Gironde river whose color is very different from the Loire. The first is grey while the second is green. Bordeaux reveals its history thanks to numerous churches which emerges from the urban landscape.

Just after the Gironde capital, the highway turns South East, crossing the universe of Bordelais famous wineyards. This time, the farms of Poitou-Charentes are replaced by castles and villas. After, the highway drives through fields planted with fruit trees, crosses several rivers dominated by castles. The first hills of Pyrénées mountains are visible arriving in Toulouse...
