This is a town not far from Bordeaux, and it’s a big wine growing district.

We have taken out a house in the middle of the wine fields, about 10 minutes walk out of the town of St Emillion. Its a huge place, with four large bedrooms all with ensuites, and also a huge downstairs area which should give everyone some space.

The view out of the living area is straight at St Emillion

St Emillion itself seems to be full of wine shops, and other things, but its an interesting town built on a very sloped hill. Its pretty by day and by night.

This is an old converted submarine base built by the Germans in WW2 to service their war effort. Its architecture is stunningly brutal, and way out of context for Bordeaux

For whatever reason, I thought it would be a military museum. It was nothing of the sort.

Instead, it’s a homage to Salvador Dali, and it is an almost psychedelic experience. Pitch dark throughout, with a psychedelic rendering of the works of Dali. Colours bouncing off the water pools that submarines used to float in.

A static picture does not do it justice however as this was all animated in a style that I think Dali would have approved of.

Set to a musical score mostly done by Pink Floyd.

It was an amazing experience.
