The place

Bordeaux & the South West

Wine châteaux among the vines, a city of golden stone on the Garonne, and the Atlantic’s dunes, pine forests and surf an hour away.

September is one of the easiest months to marry here.

The light

How the light falls there

On the coast the sun sets straight into the Atlantic, so evenings on the dune and the beaches are long and golden; in late June it goes down around ten to ten. Inland, the vines run in lines that catch low, raking light at either end of the day. Summer middays are bright and flat.
