Today we took the tram back into the city to visit La Cité du Vin – a temple to, and a celebration of, everything related to wine. The building even looks like a ultra modern cathedral:

Inside, every modern technology you can think of is used to communicate everything you could possibly want to know about the liquid the French regard so highly. It’s all done in a very entertaining way that keeps your attention for the 2 – 3 hours of your visit. Their wine shop (I should say Cave) looks impressive as does the view from the top floor.

After we walked through the very busy main shopping street, Rue Sainte Catherine, to the ‘proper’ Cathedral St-André which looked quite spectacular in the late afternoon sun.
