Bordeaux rankings

Bordeaux follows the curve of the Garonne, where eighteenth-century façades face broad quays and the reflecting pool of the Miroir d’Eau. Behind them are the Grand Théâtre, Saint-André Cathedral and neighbourhoods made for walking. Wine is part of daily life, from restaurant cellars to the Cité du Vin, but the city also rewards time in its museums and markets. Cross to La Bastide for a different view of the waterfront and the converted barracks at Darwin.
