Bordeaux, France: Château de Carmasac in the Entre-Deux-Mers Countryside

Let’s move to Gironde in the Entre-Deux-Mers countryside, near Bordeaux. And visit the Château de Camarsac, called the “Black Prince’s castel” (Edouard of Woostock) from the 14th century. Today the castel and vineyard are the properties of Thierry Lurton. I climb to the top of the dungeon: a very sportive climb because of the width and height of the steps!!!. Stonished view of the vineyard (picture 4) produces differents wines : red wines, rosés wines, clairet (a bled of Cabernet and Merlot grapes, picture 5) and more recently white wines (since 2009). You can choice between different visits : classic, historic et technology (wine processing technology focus).

Kent, England: Walmer Castle Gardens

After the incredible seaview in St Magaret’s Bay, let’s discover the fantastic of  Walmer Castle. I feel being in “Alice in Wonderland”! My favorite garden (picture above), “The Oval Lawn”, with really old trees is a great place for reading, next to “Broadwalk”, a beautiful alley (picture below and picture 3). Each garden is amazing, offering a particular atmosphere. A magic and beautiful and relaxing! 

Picture 5 :The Kitchen Garden“. In the background, you can find in the eastern glasshouse many different plants and ferns (picture below). A pleasure for the eyes.

Last picture : a  kind of paradise, one single amchair lost in the middle of a unique greenery… And the road movie continues, next stop : Sandwich!
