More on what to see in Bordeaux
This is a city
for walking and
admiring. Explore
the old town with its
Grosse Cloche, 13th
century gate, the
Place du Parlement
created in 1754
by Tourny, Porte
Cailhau constructed
in the late 1490s
and the masterpiece
of the neo-classic
Porte Cailhau
rebuild, the Grand-
Theatre, whose spectacular staircase was the
model for the Opera Garnier in Paris.
For food lovers
Darwin: Cross to the right bank to experience
Darwin. A former military barracks turned
eco-rehabilitated area with street art,
performances and great places to eat out.
Locals love: Le Bordeaux restaurant is
popular not just with visitors but with
locals, it’s part of the city’s history in its
oh-so-memorable location opposite the
Grand-Theatre. The Bordelais (people of
Bordeaux) grow up knowing this restaurant,
celebrating good times with dishes made to
perfection…

Bucket list Hotel: InterContinental
Bordeaux – Le Grand Hotel presides over
Place de la Comédie and is plush and
luxurious with a big dollop of old school
glamour and a glorious, theatrical tearoom.
Stay here and you actually might not
want to leave the hotel at all except that
Bordeaux’s temptations are simply too
irresistible. Indulge in the spa which has
one of the most unusual and stunning pools
I’ve ever seen – like swimming in your front
room, complete with curtains and paintings!
There’s a Michelin Starred Gordon Ramsay
restaurant, Le Pressoir d’Argent, named
after a pure silver lobster press created by
renowned Maison Christofle. They actually
use it in the restaurant if you order lobster.
And you can enjoy a glass of Bordeaux’s
finest wines on the stunning roof top bar
overlooking the famous opera house. Find
