What do people like (and dislike) about Bordeaux?

"the French think of most Americans a rich and easy prey. I am in a situation that requires the need to maintain my property and at the same time try and enjoy the country side. I never have time to enjoy the country side, there is always a need for repairing or redoing something on the houses or property. Many neighbors are not really friendly and ignore me. The ones I have befriended eventually go their own way once I turn them down for favors they ask me to do. Many times I have offered dinner at home, but am never taken up on the offer. I suspect with the Covid-19 virus, I will have to start thinking about selling. France is so far behind in vaccinating people it will be maybe another year before I can go to France. I have friends stuck in Italy now, been one year and now Italy is suffering another set back. WHO has done a lousy job of working to end to reduce the spread of this virus. I think Europe has a long way to go, to be united in fighting during a Pandemic," remarked another expat in Bordeaux, France.
