Bordeaux is a charming city that will give you enough autonomy to traipse around on your own. Some moments, you’ll think that you have been taken through another time period. The city is a splendid display of medieval and gothic constructions, and a vineyard paradise. Its impressive buildings portray the glory of past times, but people won’t let you forget that Bordeaux has much more modernity than anyone can imagine.
With a touch of old and new, Bordeaux is a stunning city crossed by rivers and canals that wash the Atlantic waters. Keeping the praised heritage from Roman times, Bordeaux combines crooked streets, wooden buildings, and 18th century monuments, with spacious squares, and some impressive modern constructions. At first glance, it may look rather snotty, but with time you’ll discover its hidden charm. The city is the main regional and transportation centerpoint, so new people come and go all the time. Due to its long-British occupation, today Bordeaux is perhaps the least French city you may visit in the country.
