photos of inside the house at Bordeaux

Hi guys, Sam asked what the house was like inside so we took some photos before we left today, here they are.  We are now in Montpellier, we crossed what is called the vertical centre line of France which means we crossed from West to East, but we are still in the South.  Tomorrow we go to our new house in Provence for 2 weeks.  The houses and the towns around here are very different, very medieval with fortresses and huge walls.  Amber, I remember seeing photos of places like this your mum posted while you were away.  There are still a lot of grape vines but they are different, and lots of olive trees.  we also saw the Mediterranean Sea, mum says we will go there later then we can swim in both the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.
The machines were harvesting the grapes on Thursday before we left, I will try and post some photos of that as well, the machine is very narrow and fits over the vines and cuts the bunches of grapes off, then the machine empties them into a trailer.  It was very quick, i ran out and picked some grapes to eat before they were all taken to make wine!!
