What to see in Bordeaux

Bordeaux is a city with a rich history and a unique atmosphere: the ancient port on the Garonne, the world center of winemaking and a beautifully preserved historical center, included in the UNESCO list. Here the elegant classical architecture of the XVIII century, narrow shopping streets and quiet embankments intertwine, and walks around the city fill with a sense of French sophistication and leisurely pleasure.

Manufactures and facilities

Man-made sights of Bordeaux amaze with diversity: the long street of St. Catherine beckons shopping and walks, Burs Square near the Garonne River charms with the appearance of ancient facades and a mirror of water, and the monument to the Girondists reminds of the turbulent pages of history. The Cayo Gate is a symbol of the medieval entrance to the city, the cathedrals of St. Andrew and St. Peter impress with Gothic silhouettes and stained glass windows. No less interesting are flea markets, museums and numerous architectural ensembles that tell about different eras of the city.

Natural attractions and places

The natural corners around Bordeaux are no less attractive: the wide Garonne River and its embankments create cozy routes for walking, and the vineyards of Medoc and the terroirs of St. Emilion offer picturesque views and quiet country roads. Sea lovers will find nearby the beach of Montalivier with the sand dunes of the Atlantic, and in the vicinity there are valleys with castles and green landscapes, including the famous Dordogne Valley, where nature and history go together.
