Bordeaux

Bordeaux occupies a broad bend on the left bank of the Garonne in Nouvelle-Aquitaine. The river shaped the city’s long role as an Atlantic port and as a centre of the Bordeaux wine trade, whose vineyards extend across the surrounding region. Its historic centre, known as the Port of the Moon, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site noted for its coherent 18th-century urban architecture. Place de la Bourse faces the quays, while the nearby Miroir d’eau reflects its grand classical façade. Contemporary Bordeaux also has the Cité du Vin, a museum devoted to wine cultures worldwide.
