Jardin Public, 27 June 2014

Even every second year when Vinexpo is held in Hong Kong, the fête still takes place in Bordeaux but is not hosted by a château. Previous locations have included the Hangars (converted wine merchant warehouses) along the quays, the Places des Quinconces and the Jardin Public. Alain Juppé has been a regular attendee since he was first elected as Mayor of Bordeaux in 1995. Rain did little to dampen the spirits of guests on this occasion who were entertained by swing musicians.
