A tower with a view: Pey Berland in Bordeaux

Stepping up all the 232 steps of the Pey Berland bell tower has been on my wish-list for a long time, so when Maria volunteered to join me, it was time to get to that fabulous view!

And when you're done, there are two superbe cafés to do excellent people watching from!

The bell tower is next to the cathedral Saint André. The bells were put in a different building so that the vibrations wouldn't hurt the cathedral...

Religious or not, this place is awe inspiring.

Did I mention the 232 steps?

But the view is worth it!
