Gate of Aquitaine

I guess most affluent cities would require a stunning gateway to its city and Bordeaux is no exception. This tall thirty odd metres gate together with an obelisk and a turtle with grapes, representing the rich wine region of Bordeaux, is the stunning introduction to this city. It's located in Place de la Victoire and the beginning of the Rue Sainte-Catherine pedestrian thoroughfare in Bordeaux, an almost two kilometres pedestrian thoroughfare and supposedly one of the longest in Europe. To the right, facing Saint Catherine street is the University of Bordeaux medicine faculty. It's an impressive monument and a brilliant introduction to the magical city of Bordeaux.

Beautiful archway with magnificent square and a cool tortoise sculpture

A beautiful place that gives the start to rue Sainte Catherine, one of the largest shopping streets in the world, it ends at the Grand Théâtre, whose spender is also worth a visit. Tourists, get your cameras out!

Nice monument representing the myths as well as the history of wine and vineyards from antiquity to the present day, with particular attention to the Bordeaux region.

Nice square with a very French cozy environment. Very enjoyable!
