Between its diverse architecture, rich culture and world-famous wine, there’s plenty to raise a glass to in Bordeaux. This elegant city is the largest urban UNESCO World Heritage site in the world, with over 350 buildings designated as historical monuments. Bordeaux is a thriving, home to independent boutiques and galleries, a diverse food scene and a 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.
