Saturday 15th June 2024 Day trip to Bordeaux

Bought 2  train tickets (cost €18)  two singles to Bordeaux. Purchased all day tickets  on arrival (costing 10€ for two) for bus, tram and river ferry. Cold and  cloudy day. Large pro- Palestinian march happening  along the river Garonne 

Visited the fine art museum where we encountered an art class sketching different Masters paintings in the annexe. Valerie Belen, collage photographer, had her own exhibition in a separate hall. The curators had mixed some of her collage representations and placed them  next to Old Masters paintings 

Went up and down the river by ferry, passing the City of Wine (in a fancy building) , the Darwin centre (trendy warehouse, street art , and food cafe , music )  both on the far side of the river.

We wore all our clothes , it was chilly.

Visited the modern art museum with a major sculpture exhibition (Auto by  Nina Beier)

Ran out of steam and energy and took the train home (45 mins)
