Travel expert defends Bordeaux against criticism from Rick Steves
Former US diplomat and luxury travel designer Stephanie Bowers defends against the negative portrayal of Bordeaux by well-known travel guide Rick Steves. She argues that the city does not suffer from a lack of beauty, culture or culinary excellence, but is misunderstood. Bowers sees common travel advice as incomplete, portraying Bordeaux as a transit point rather than a destination.
