Bordeaux's distinction as a UNESCO World Heritage Site is due to its remarkable architectural heritage, which has developed harmoniously over many centuries and remained remarkably well preserved.
Aboard your coach, a panoramic drive reveals some of Bordeaux's major highlights: the Chartrons district, once the cradle of the wine trade; the Esplanade des Quinconces, which is one of Europe's largest squares, with a column commemorating the French Revolution; the 16th-century Cathedral of St Andrew District, where Eleanor d'Aquitaine married Louis VII; and the Grand Theatre — Bordeaux's opera house built in 1773.
Continue to the Cité du Vin, Bordeaux's Wine Museum. This cultural facility brings the world of wine to life through an immersive sensory approach and sits within an evocative architectural design. The museum features no permanent collection; rather, it offers a self-guided tour through 20 themed spaces explaining the culture of wine in a relatable fashion. Take a journey through the universal, heritage, civilizational and cultural dimensions of enology. Your "travel companion" is an innovative technological tool that helps you explore the circuit at your own pace and adapts to your profile.
Before you head back to the ship, take in a 360° view of the city and enjoy a glass of wine from one of the great vineyards of the world.
Please note: Wear comfortable walking shoes. You are welcome to bring any on-tour alcohol purchases (beer, wine, spirits) back to the ship with you to enjoy on board; there is no corkage fee.
