The best of Bordeaux: Find more than wine on this self-guided audio tour
Want to get to know the best of Bordeaux in 45 minutes? Then join me on this unique self-guided audio tour of its city centre where I’ll share my favourite parts of its rich and fascinating history. I’ll take you to some of the main sights like the Bordeaux Cathedral, and the famous neoclassical theatre, Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux. But I’ll also show you some tucked away places that aren’t well known. You’ll hear about everything from disappearing monuments and almost-forgotten Roman temples to wild stories of medieval queens and bloody revolutionaries.
Some of the landmarks you’ll see along the way include:
• The Monument aux Girondins
• The Grand Théatre de Bordeaux
• The Bordeaux Cathedral
• The Pey Berland Tower
• The Cailhau Gate Bordeaux
You think Bordeaux is good only for its wine? Let me show you otherwise! Whether it’s your first time in Bordeaux or you’ve been living here for years, this tour is a brilliant introduction to the historic centre.
