Was shocked to see Bordeaux #2! My wife and I are there right now. It&#x27;s a beautiful city—probably my favorite in France so far. It&#x27;s also very walkable and bikeable. Coming from the Silicon Valley (San Mateo area) it&#x27;s a huge difference in lifestyle, but I love both: SV is more about work and outdoors while Bordeaux is more about fine living.
