What to expect
Landes
The journey begins by crossing this fantastic region, known for its large dunes, vast pine forests, oysters, and pâtés.
Monument aux Girondins
This beautiful square, dedicated to the memory of the Girondins, a political group that played a significant role during the French Revolution, marks the beginning of our tour. Surrounded by impressive fountains and sculptures, it is one of the most iconic landmarks in Bordeaux.
Place de la Comedie
Here, we will admire the exterior of the Grand Théâtre and the Sculpture Sanna. The guide will show you how this unique sculpture changes shape depending on the viewing angle, creating fascinating visual effects and inspiring interesting reflections.
Miroir d'eau
This is probably the most iconic location in Bordeaux. We will soak in the vibrant atmosphere of this fantastic square while enjoying panoramic views of the Garonne River and other landmarks, such as the iconic Pont de Pierre.
Place du Parlement
Place du Parlement is one of Bordeaux's most charming squares, known for its elegant 18th-century architecture and lively atmosphere. Surrounded by beautifully preserved buildings with intricate facades, this historic square was named in honor of the former Bordeaux Parliament.
After walking through some of Bordeaux’s most iconic streets, such as Rue Sainte-Catherine, the guide will share the amusing history behind this medieval gateway—a monument that commemorates a victory that didn’t last long and a king who died young in a rather unusual way...
Vieux Bordeaux
Lunch time in a traditional restaurant
This majestic 15th-century Gothic tower was built as the bell tower of Saint-André Cathedral, yet it stood silent for over 400 years before finally receiving its first bell! A true symbol of Bordeaux’s rich history, its intricate design and towering presence make it a fascinating sight. Nearby, we will also see the historic Bordeaux City Hall.
Another impressive cathedral and bell tower. We will visit the interior, admire its stained glass windows, and talk about some interesting curiosities and... mummies!
One of Bordeaux’s most iconic landmarks, the Grosse Cloche is a beautiful medieval tower that has played an important role in the city's history. With its impressive architecture and centuries-old bell, this site has many stories to tell. The guide will reveal its fascinating past and why it remains a beloved symbol of Bordeaux today.
Finally, we will head to the Cité du Vin Museum, where you’ll have some relaxing free time before we pick you up and return to Biarritz. Access to the museum not included.
