What to expect
Place de la Bourse
Place de la Bourse & Miroir d’Eau. This 18th-century masterpiece is the postcard image of Bordeaux, famous for its harmonious architecture and the magical Miroir d’Eau, the world’s largest reflecting pool. It's especially stunning when the buildings reflect on the water at sunrise or sunset.
One of the oldest belfries in France, the Grosse Cloche is a dramatic Gothic gate that once served as both a defensive structure and a prison. The twin towers and giant bell are impressive remnants of medieval Bordeaux.
Place Pey-Berland
Pey Berland Cathedral & Tower. This Gothic cathedral, officially known as Saint-André, stands tall with its separate bell tower offering panoramic views. The site is a UNESCO World Heritage treasure and has hosted royal weddings and papal visits over the centuries.
Allees de Tourny
Grand Théâtre & Allées de Tourny. Bordeaux’s Grand Théâtre is a neoclassical jewel, with Corinthian columns and richly decorated interiors. The surrounding Allées de Tourny provide an elegant shopping and strolling area, lined with chic boutiques and historic cafés.
Cité du Vin (Exterior Visit). An eye-catching architectural wonder resembling a swirling wine glass or grapevine, this futuristic museum celebrates global wine culture. While this ride doesn’t include entry, it’s a perfect photo stop on the city’s modern riverfront.
Quais De Bordeaux
Stretching along the Garonne River, the quays offer a peaceful drive with views of historic warehouses turned into cultural hubs, wide promenades, and striking bridges. Ideal for a breezy panoramic loop around the old and new city.
