We arrived at the Airbnb, a well-decorated house in the suburbs, around three in the afternoon. We took the bus into the city, planning to go to the Cité du Vin. We walked through the downtown area and found an artisanal sweets shop that had delicious pates à tartiner and some interesting liqueurs including a cactus one and a salted caramel one. We caught the tram to the wine museum. It was a bizzare modern building which vaguely evoked a wine decanter. It was full of interesting and informative displays about wine and it was super high tech, but it didn't have much discernible organization to it. Everything was done through the multilingual audio guides, which was kind of cool. Then we took the elevators to the sky deck for the free wine tasting. I got a spicy and woody red from near Bordeaux. Salim got a really interesting Swiss red with cedar and coffee and Tomás got a fresh, acidic German white.

We took the tram back without buying tickets, so we had to hop off early when we saw ticket controllers get on. We walked along the street, which reminded me of the embarcadero in San Francisco. We eventually found a place called Chez Marcel et Lilly, and I got foie gras, magret de canard, and crème brûlée.

After dinner, we walked down to the Basilica and back up to the downtown area. The part of town around the basilica wasn't very nice, but as the sun went down we made it back to the centre-ville, which was nice, if quiet. We saw the cathedral and the town hall. We just missed the bus back, so we had to wait at the bus stop for forty minutes eating petit écolier biscuits and playing twenty questions. Eventually we did make it back though!
