From the Bordeaux World / Stories
Bordeaux at a Glance
The Garonne shaped Bordeaux as a port, while wine trade and an ambitious built centre shaped its public image. This overview helps connect the riverfront, historic streets and wine culture in one visit.
The Port de la Lune, Bordeaux's UNESCO-listed urban ensemble, is easiest to grasp from the Garonne and the adjoining streets. Place de la Bourse makes a useful riverfront anchor; Grand Théâtre and the central squares show how the city's civic architecture extends inland. Wine is part of this story, but there is more here than vineyards.
Useful to know
Start at the riverfront, then turn inland to compare Place de la Bourse with Grand Théâtre and the nearby squares.
