Half the city of Bordeaux is a World Heritage Site. The centre of Bordeaux, flanked by its three boulevards is a hive of activity with the focal point being Place de la Comedie with the imposing and architecturally stunning Grand Theatre with its incredible façade. The huge square, Esplanades Quinconces is host to statues of local Philosophers such as Montaigne and Montesquieu. Along the riverfront is the bridge of Pont de Pierre from where the view of the buildings with their arches and thin chimney stacks is very impressive on an autumnal day. A visit to the famous vineyards of Bordeaux is easy to do from the city centre; including St Emilion, whose town is built like an amphitheatre. St Emilion is one vineyard and town not to miss when staying in Bordeaux.
St-Emilion - sun-fired, medieval, wine-tastic perfection...
