If Bordeaux owes its world-renowned name to its famous vineyards; it is its history, so intimately linked to its river that today invites the visitor to discover its extraordinary heritage.
Can you fully appreciate the arch itectural and urban qual ities of the 18th century city (the Place Royale (now Place de la Bourse), Grand Théâtre, Allées de Tourny.) without knowing it is all thanks to the remarkable international wine, wood and spice trade of the city.
All the quarters of the city are witnesses to its history: Saint-Pierre situated on the very spot of the Gallo-Roman port of Burdigala, Saint-Michel and its Gothic spire, Saint-Eloi with its picturesque cobbled streets, the City Hall quarter with its Cathedral and the Palais Rohan.
In add ition to the wine, the river and the arts, Bordeaux also possesses numerous museums and cultural sites in which the pleasures of the eye combine with those of the spirit : Musée d'Aquitaine, Museum of Fine Arts, Museum of Decorative Arts, Museum of Modern Art...
But Bordeaux is not content with paying homage to its past founders or being the wine capital of the world. Bordeaux can be discovered through its numerous parks, gentle climate, quality of life and gastronomic pleasures and nightlife, not to mention its proximity to the Bassin d'Arcachon and the Atlantic Ocean, the Perigord rich in ancient history, Gascony, the Basque Country, the forest of the Landes and the Pyrenees.
A simple walk or a guided vis it, a voyage into history or out of time, unique panoramas and viewpoints, wine tastings and gastronomy. Perfect for that city break!
