Why go

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.
