Discovering Bordeaux on foot is the best way to experience the city’s diversity. The ‘City of The Lumières’, drawn up with a compass by 18th century architects and town planners, is synonymous with harmony: hôtels particuliers, beautiful squares and avenues are spread all along this route that takes you through picturesque areas like Saint Rémi and Saint Pierre quarters.
Some of the winding streetshave not changed since the Middle Ages. “Blondstone” is present everywhere, including in the sculpted faces that sit atop the city centre doorways,the mascarons. These stand as remarkable examples of art and masonry.

Answer from Office de Tourisme et des Congrès de Bordeaux Métropole
Dear Jennifer, we thank you for your feedback. We are aware that tours in a single language offer a more confortable experience to ours visitors and guides, we naturally organise them whenever we can. However it is not always possible, and to make them accessible to most people, we offer bilingual visits. We forward your comments to our guided tours department and hope that despite this aspect, you appreciated the contents of our tour. Best regards The Bordeaux tourist office team
