Tour Itinerary
Your tour begins at this striking monument dedicated to the memory of the Girondins, a fitting introduction to Bordeaux's revolutionary history. The surrounding esplanade sets the tone for the walk ahead.
Designed by Victor Louis in 1770, the Grand Theatre is considered one of the most architecturally significant theatres in France. Your guide brings to life the stories of the artists, politicians, and citizens who have passed through its columns.
Walk through the heart of the old city, stopping at a beautiful Baroque-style church and charming squares that reflect centuries of urban life. Each space carries its own story about Bordeaux's social and religious history.
The first Gothic-style cathedral in the Aquitaine region, this monument is a landmark of medieval craftsmanship and religious heritage. Few buildings in the southwest of France carry the same historical weight.
Pass through one of Bordeaux's most impressive ancient gates, an entrance that once welcomed travellers into the city during the medieval period. The route concludes near the Water Mirror, where the city's 18th-century facades reflect in Europe's largest urban reflecting pool.
After the walk, join an in-house sommelier for a guided tasting of selected organic Bordeaux wines paired with local cheese and charcuterie. The session covers grape varieties, wine regions, and the 1855 Classification.
