Our trip began with a flight to Paris, followed by a train ride on the TGV to Bordeaux. There we rented a car and travelled southeast to the Pyrenées, staying in Pau, Viscos, Montesquieu-Volvestre and Carcassonne. The driving tour was followed by several days in Bordeaux attending a reunion of Schlumberger retirees. STILL WORKING ON THIS PAGE. CHECK BACK AT A LATER DATE FOR BORDEAUX AREA PHOTOS
