To experience a city is to explore in the footsteps of its inhabitants, it is to capture its iconic places, to be inspired by the energy that moves it.

Bordeaux is the first city to be represented by us. First of all because she is ranked the most beautiful city in France, and in the world too, if we are to believe the “chocolatine” enthusiasts.
