Bordeaux<br />

St-Emilion - sun-fired,<br />

medieval, wine-tastic<br />

perfection...<br />

Half the city of Bordeaux is a World Heritage Site. The centre of Bordeaux, flanked by its<br />

three boulevards is a hive of activity with the focal point being Place de la Comedie with<br />

the imposing and architecturally stunning Grand Theatre with its incredible façade. The<br />

huge square, Esplanades Quinconces is host to statues of local Philosophers such as<br />

Montaigne and Montesquieu. Along the riverfront is the bridge of Pont de Pierre from<br />

where the view of the buildings with their arches and thin chimney stacks is very<br />

impressive on an autumnal day. A visit to the famous vineyards of Bordeaux is easy to<br />

do from the city centre; including St Emilion, whose town is built like an amphitheatre. St<br />

Emilion is one vineyard and town not to miss when staying in Bordeaux.
