Bordeaux Unmissables

Bordeaux showcases a concentration of 18th-century neoclassical architecture, centered around the Place de la Bourse and the Grand Théâtre. This UNESCO World Heritage site features medieval landmarks like the Grosse Cloche and the Gothic Saint-André Cathedral, paired with the separate Pey-Berland bell tower. The city’s history is further represented by the Romanesque-Gothic Basilica of Saint Severinus and the Musée d'Aquitaine, while the monumental fountains of the Place des Quinconces honor the Girondin deputies of the French Revolution.
