For true gourmets: where to go in Europe for those who like to eat

Traveling by plane is quite convenient, but recently there has been more and more talk about the fact that air transportation causes a huge amount of greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, it is worth giving preference to much more environmentally friendly rail transport and European railways have a lot to offer tourists.

According to the Express, a city in southwestern France, world-famous for its gourmet cuisine and red wines, is a great choice for those who want to travel in an environmentally friendly way. Of course, we are talking about Bordeaux.

As soon as you set foot on its soil, head to the Capucine Market, also known as the "belly of Bordeaux". This is a historic marketplace where you can now buy fresh fruits, vegetables, cheese, meat, and other local delicacies at a low cost. The selection of products here is amazing.

Bordeaux's signature dish is Bazas beef, meat from a local cow breed. Of course, you should definitely try the freshest oysters from the neighboring Lege-Cap-Ferret. All these delicacies are served in numerous restaurants in the city. And you can find a place to suit every taste and budget.

And, of course, a trip to Bordeaux would not be complete without tasting its famous wines. It is considered one of the oldest and most respected wine regions in the world. The local wine cellars attract tens of thousands of tourists every year. Most of the villages where winemakers live and work can also be reached by rail. This is how you can get to the Medoc or Grav regions. Here, you will not only take part in a tasting, but you can also book a vineyard tour.

To learn more about the wine-making process, head to the Cité du Vin museum. It demonstrates 2000 years of local winemaking history in an interactive way.
