BORDEAUX WINE
If the city of Paris and French wine had a baby, it would be Bordeaux. Beautiful architecture, delicious cuisine, and wine everywhere you look.
See Bordeaux, the La belle endormie. The “sleeping beauty” is a perfect description of Bordeaux. Beautiful, but out of sight in southwest France. The Romans were here. Unfortunately, much of their architecture does not survive. However, they replace it with other architecture worth seeing. The city seems to have at least one example of every architectural style from the last 600 years.
The cuisine has to keep up with the local wines. Treasures from local rivers and the nearby ocean and the freshest farm to table ingredients rise to the occasion.
You can not mention Bordeaux and not also say wine. Grapevines are surrounding the city. They’re on the left-bank and the right-bank, as well as nearby Graves, Medoc, and Saint-Emilion.
See Bordeaux and why it is a feast for all the senses.
See Bordeaux Architecture.
1998 – The modern Tribunal de Grande Instance (TGI) (Courthouses).
At every turn, there is incredible architecture to see. Old, new, simple, and intricate, the styles all blend like a beautiful puzzle. Remember to watch where you are walking as it is tempting to keep looking up.
See Bourdeaux Wine Country.
The hills are alive with grapevines, wineries, and chateauxs.
Medoc produces some of the best (and most expensive) wines of Bordeaux.
