Bordeaux Walks

Visit the best of Bordeaux

Bordeaux is a town of historical and modern monuments and landmarks with a rich artistic and architectonic heritage. The elegant palaces, a legacy of the 18th-century former port, spread along the banks of the Garonne and its quays. A walk along the banks of the River Garonne and the bay of the Gironde unveils culture, landscape, vineyards and enchanting castles.
Your guide will meet you in the heart of the city and start a 3-hour exploration of the city recently recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
You will discover Place de la Bourse, the magnificent riverside square with a pool that rhythmically shifts mirror effects and artificial raining, the glittering Grand Theatre and the 11th-century Cathedral of St Andrew. This church was a significant stop along the French leg of the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela.
Before leaving your guide, you will stop for a canelé, the most famous Bordeaux pastry whose history is linked to the wine world.
It's said that the first canelés were invented by nuns at the Couvert de L'Annociade de Bordeaux at the end of the 17th century using flour and egg-yellow given to nuns by winemakers who used egg whites to purify the wine.
