Head by coach to the city of Bordeaux for a panoramic drive through the downtown core, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
View the Chartrons riverfront where the wine industry began, the 18th century Place de la Bourse, the Cailhau Gate, the Big Bell and the Palais Rohan. The latter is now the City Hall. See the 13th-century Cathedral of St Andrew, where Alienor d'Aquitaine married Louis VII, and pass through Gambetta and Tourny Squares. Don't miss a glimpse of the Grand Theatre, built by Victor Louis in 1773.
Continue to the Cité du Vin (Bordeaux's Wine Museum), where wine comes to life through an immersive, sensory approach. Set within an evocative architectural design, La Cité du Vin gives a different view of wine, across the world, across the ages, across all cultures and all civilizations. If the approach is museum-like, the method certainly does not follow the classical rules. There is no permanent collection, but a self-guided tour punctuated by 20 themed spaces explains the culture of wine. Whether you are a beginner or a wine connoisseur, you will relish this journey through time and space guided by an innovative and technological tool adapted to your own profile to help you explore the circuit at your own pace.
From the observation area of La Cité du Vin, take in a 360-degree view of the city and sip a glass of wine from one of the great vineyards of the world.
Notes:
Wear comfortable walking shoes.
