At the start of the D2 going north out of Bordeaux (which is the road that passes many of the great Bordeaux vineyards and chateaux) there is a wonderful roundabout where each "side" tells a story. The roundabout sits at the D2 junction with the D211 to Macau on the mouth of the Garonne.
We have the blue of the sea circled by a net. Then there is the red earth surrounded by vines. Spanning the two is a metalwork
"gateway", with fish and vine leaves. Although difficult to see because it is covered one side by a banner, I think there is also an artichoke in the centre of the "gates".
The whole is a grand entrance to the Médoc wine region.
