Between its diverse architecture, rich culture and world-famous wine, there’s plenty to raise a glass to in Bordeaux. The elegant city is the largest urban UNESCO World Heritage site in the world, with over 350 buildings designated as historical monuments. Bordeaux is still thriving today, its independent boutiques and galleries, diverse food scene and packed calendar of cultural events reflecting a living, changing city. Cycle the banks of the River Garonne, pause at a café in a cobbled square, or stroll the old town’s avenues (here called cours) to get a taste of the city’s charms.
