Very mediocre stops except Bordeaux. Only one stop at a Chateaux-we just drove by all the rest!! Dinner one night at a Chateaux which was the best meal of the trip. Towns for visits are not ready for tours-limited restaurants, shops, etc. Timing of trip is way off as our visits often were when nothing was open. Bordeaux itself is a great city and very enjoyable. Ship is lovely!!! Food was just ok. Staff is very accommodating and gracious. Have done a dozen plus River cruises in Europe and this one is definitely in bottom 10%
