We spent a day driving around the Medoc wine area in western France, near the Gironde Estuary.
From an industrial pier in Paulliac, we looked out across the muddy estuary to what appeared to be a strange white city on the opposite bank. Consulting a map and Wikipedia when we returned to our B&B, we were surprised to find that the "strange white city" is actually the Blayaise nuclear power station, located in a marsh in the middle of the broad estuary.
The Chateau Cos D'Estournel in Sainte Estéphe, celebrated for its ornate architectural decoration. The spookiness (in my view) lies in the severely trimmed black tree, which seems fit to house a murder of crows.
