One of the most important and beautiful cities in France, Bordeaux was the region’s first trading port and now claims the largest town square and the longest pedestrianised street in Europe. In addition to literally hundreds of worthy tourist attractions, such as the old Grand Theatre and the new Cité de Vin, it offers the innovative and spectacular Mirror d’Eau in front of the Place de la Bourse – every 20 minutes the reflection breaks into a dreamy mist. Bordeaux’s setting on the bend of the river Garonne, with its beautiful stand of 18th century merchants’ houses and prominent maritime buildings, provides one of the most romantic promenades in the world.
