5 REASONS TO DISCOVER BORDEAUX
It is a unique gothic church, where famous weddings such as the union between Eleanor of Aquitaine and Louis VII were held. It is often compared in size and style to the magnificent Notre-Dame in Paris. The cathedral’s north doorway is one of its finest features, having been richly decorated with exquisite sculptures depicting such events as the Last Supper and the Ascension.
This bell dates back to the medieval times. It is the last remnants of the ramparts of the city. It was also used as a prison that some would call “The Gold Lion Hotel” because it has the symbol of England’s kings: a golden lion as a weathervane on the central dome. The bell itself weighs about 7750 kg!

Bordeaux is located on the Gironde estuary, in the Southwest of France, where the Gironde River meets the Atlantic Ocean. It is the center of famous vineyards, between Medoc and Grave and is home to some of the most distinguished wines in the world such as St Emilion or Pomerol.
It is also very close to Dordogne, a French region also known as Perigord and famous for its wine and local food delicacies.
From early times until today, the city of Bordeaux has flourished thanks to wine trade.
Originally a settlement of a Celtic tribe, Bordeaux became the capital of Roman Aquitaine when the Romans ruled the area. In the 12th century, it benefited from the wedding of the Duchess Eleanor of Aquitaine with the soon to be King of England, Henry II. Later on and on several occasions, the French government relocated in Bordeaux when Paris was under attack or unsafe.
The city has always played an important part in the history of France, making it culturally rich and very interesting to visit.
