Welcome to the first day in Bordeaux. It's not just the capital of Aquitaine — Bordeaux has the largest area in France listed by UNESCO, and it was here that the fate of European trade was once decided. The city knows how to combine the grandeur of antiquity with the ease of modern life, so the first day will be rich, beautiful and very atmospheric. Today you will see 12 top locations, and here are three of them to immediately feel the “taste” of the day: • Jardin Public — a park that was once a royal garden and still retains this elegance in every path. • Place de la Bourse is Bordeaux's main star: a square with perfect symmetry and views that transformed the city into French Venice. • Miroir d'Eau is the largest reflecting lake in the world, which creates the magical effect of a double city under your feet. Other equally interesting places await you — theaters, basilicas, ancient gates and romantic squares. Interesting fact In Bordeaux, there is a street that is officially recognized as the narrowest in France: Rue du Serpent, only 1 meter wide - enough to walk, but not enough not to think about a diet. Have a nice walk and a light day — Bordeaux will definitely hook you from the first location.
