Bordeaux fête le fleuve

Bordeaux is celebrating the river at the moment. There are three gorgeous sailing ships in harbour. Here you can see the Belem, with a Mexican ship behind it.

Oh, and on Sunday there will be three stints of people swimming across the Garonne. The France 50m champion started it all, though the Garonne is actually 1.7km across.

The posters read "Come and swim the cleanest estuary in Europe !"

Apparently the dodgy colour is because the salt causes particles of clay from the river bed to enter suspension.
