The City
The guide was updated:
Bordeaux has deep roots in trade, wine, and architecture—once a busy port city, now known for its classical façades and sharp mix of old and new. The grand 18th-century buildings, built to impress, now frame a city that's grown more confident and lively in recent years. Trams glide past old stone squares, riverbanks have been cleaned up for walking and cycling, and cafés spill onto the streets. It’s a place where history still shapes daily life, but the pace feels modern. And yes, the wine is still very much the real deal.
