City: Bordeaux

Bordeaux, capital of Nouvelle-Aquitaine and heart of the world's most prestigious wine region, is a world heritage city that combines exceptional 18th-century architecture, sophisticated wine culture and dynamic modernity. With its perfectly preserved neoclassical historic center, more than 5,000 hectares of surrounding vineyards, the architecturally revolutionary Cité du Vin, and the majestically winding Garonne, Bordeaux offers an authentic French experience where the Bordeaux art of living is manifested on terraces of the Place de la Bourse, tastings in prestigious châteaux, refined gastronomy and an effervescent cultural life that establishes it as an essential destination in the French southwest.
