Lunch @Petit Faurie de Soutard
#mytripvlog
The restaurant is part of Chateau Petit Faurie de Soutard, a vineyard in Saint Emilion of the Bordeaux region.
The restaurant is open to the public for lunch and dinner; table seating is indoor and outdoor. The outdoor seating is beautiful and overlooks the vineyard. While the indoors also very elegant, the room has divided into a few areas, with the lounge room for the drink is located on the right side.
The food is excellent and tastes delicious, and the service is good too. If I have a chance, I would like to come back for a sunset drink.

We have a dinner appointment at La Tupina; due to the difficulty of getting an Uber, we decided to walk, which takes around 30 minutes to walk.
Bordeaux city is a walkable city, if the weather is good, walking around the city is the best. Explore the city on foot, and enjoy a fantastic vibrant city with the scenery of exquisite architecture, museums, church's, historic sites and the local food and drink bar and restaurants.
The pedestrian walk area only and the proper path for walking, make the city of Bordeaux walkable for everyone. It is a very lovely city to explore on foot.

Exploring Paris by Train
#mytripvlog
One of the easy ways to explore Paris on your own is by taking public transport, such as Train. Paris's main public transport is the Metro, RER train, and bus. Metro and RER train is the best way; actually, I like to take the bus but the waiting time is too long.
Ticket is available for a single trip or a day trip. If you often travel, the best to save your cost is to get a day trip ticket. It would be best if you plan your travel zone because the ticket price is based on the travel zone.
It is easy to buy the ticket at the ticketing machine and pay by card or coins. Tickets also can be used to access the toilet inside the train station.
Please get familiar with their words, such as validate, pin ok, patience, etc.

There are a few terminals in Charles de Gaulle, Paris airport. Singapore airlines from Changi is landed at terminal 2A.
The process is smooth and fast; no question asked, no vaccine certificate check; what is missing is the limited number of immigration counter operated, while so many flights arrived at the same time.
