We landed in Paris this morning and then took the bullet train to Bordeaux.  We arrived Bordeaux around 6:30PM, picked up our rental car, and then drove to our rented apartment.

We have a rendez vous with Nghan and Stephane around 8:00PM at their bistro Le Saint Georges, a casual & popular French Bistro located in the main square of Place Camílle Julían.

The square is a very touristy place with lots of restaurants, bistros and bars.

It turned out our apartment is really close to the Bistro and it took us about 10 minutes to walk there.  Here we are in front of the Bistro

Standing in front of the bistro-Emmie, Loan, and Chi Be came to greet us.

So happy to see everyone!

This is inside the square, view facing the bistros.

Here we are inside the bistro at the bar.

Ning, Ngan, and Loan getting drinks for us.

Hoa and Minh looked really happy here... nothing better than a bit of alcohol to bring the mood up.

Cheers.

This is the second floor- Reserved for private and corporate event.  In the winter when it is really cold outside and the first level is full than customers will be seated here.

When it is nice outside customers preferred to seat outside and the upstairs is pretty deserted.

Small table for two with a view of the square.

Hoa and his two nieces Loan and Emmie.

We stayed here for bit and then headed to dinner at L'estracade.

For appetizer we orderd a cold cut platter with cheese, mix salad- Yummy!
