Took the train from my Refuge Jaquaire here at the Bruges station back up to where I took the train to come down. I then walked a short 15 km (9.4 mi) to Macau and timed it so that I would catch a return train at a reasonable time. I also had a snack in Margaux--boy did I lust over just tasting some of their fabulous wine, but I held back.
The theme all the way was chateaux and vineyards; I think I saw where some 1600 chateaux (translate: wineries) were in the Margaux Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC). Just an amazing experience, but of course, without the tasting. What a world of difference between a Saturday in Napa Valley with its bumper-to-bumper traffic and a sleepy Saturday here with few cars and few people! I enjoyed the sedateness of the atmosphere here, plus, I didn't have to watch for all the traffic.
Beside a few pics of chateaux I had to include the tarif liste for wine tasting at just one of the many wineries.
