About Bordeaux
Bordeaux is an ancient and historic land of majestic chateaux and superb vineyards. The rise of colonial trade together with the growth of the wine industry contributed to Bordeaux’ incredible expansion during the 18th Century.Today, with a population of 750,000, the historic port city has matured into a 21st Century metropolis, whilst protecting and restoring its 18th Century “golden age” buildings and monuments. In the vineyards, from the medieval village of Saint Emilion to the elegant chateaux of the Médoc and Graves, a keen desire to achieve excellence has shaped a unique cultural landscape, with world-renowned wines and distinctive architecture, featuring gems from several centuries, including leading contemporary designers.
The Bordeaux area also includes wild islands scattered along the largest estuary in Europe, the Dune du Pyla with its amazing view over the Banc d’Arguin and the Atlantic Ocean, as well as oyster-farmers’ huts and chic holiday homes around Arcachon and Cap-Ferret.
