No visit to Bordeaux would be complete without a stroll around the magnificent Place de la Bourse. Situated in the city center along the banks of the Garonne, its architectural majesty is enhanced at night by elegant lighting. 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.
Plunge yourself into bordelais life with a wander around the Old Town and Saint-Pierre district. Nestled in the heart of the city on the western side of the Garonne, this area is another UNESCO World Heritage site strewn with monuments and old buildings. It is also a great place to stop and have a coffee, or something stronger!
The best way to discover the delights of Bordeaux is to first talk a walk down the banks of the Garonne river that runs through the city.

The Quai des Marques is a great shopping area, and you’ll catch a perfect view of the wonderful Jacques Chaban-Delmas bridge!
If you fancy a day’s shopping in Bordeaux, look no further than the Rue Sainte-Catherine. At over a kilometer long, this pedestrianized commercial hub really gives the Champs Élysées a run for its money. Once you’ve finished moseying around the shops you can go and grab something to eat at one of the many eateries in and around the street, popular with locals and tourists alike!
A visit to any great European city usually involves a visit to a magnificent cathedral, and Bordeaux is no different! Officially known as the Primatial Cathedral of St Andrew of Bordeaux (Cathédrale Saint-André), the stunning building epitomizes 13th-century French gothic architecture with its breathtaking spires. 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.
