No visit to Bordeaux would be complete without a stroll around the magnificent Place de la Bourse.

Built in the 18th century, this UNESCO World Heritage sight is a masterpiece in neoclassical French design. A must-see.
One of the few remaining secular municipal bells in the region, the Grosse Cloche (Big Bell) is situated in the heart of the city. The bell is a throwback to Bordeaux’s medieval ramparts that were constructed in the 13th century. It is rung 6 times a year on the occasion of major celebrations: January 1, May 1, May 8, July 14, August 28 and November 11 at 11 a.m. and the 1st Sunday of each month at noon. You can visit this magnificent old piece of history by booking a guided visit, which take place on Saturday mornings only.

It also boasts a fantastic collection of artistic treasures, including religious edifices, accumulating remarkable liturgical art.
Bordeaux’s Grand Theater is a monument you just cannot miss. Delighting visitors for over 200 years, Victor Louis’ architectural masterpiece was built during the reign of Louis XVI when baroque elegance was the order of the day. We highly recommend going to see an opera or a ballet, or simply pay a visit to this neoclassical monument that’s open all year round.
