Let's discover Bordeaux, its history & its wine.

This walking tour will meet at the historic and beautiful "Grosse Cloche"-Bell Tower Gate. (Corner of Rue Victor Hugo & Rue St James)- From there we will wind through the vibrant historic streets of Bordeaux - discovering hidden squares and charming back streets. As we wander by the city's classic landmarks & hidden gems of bygone eras, I will share with you Bordeaux's rich and dynamic history, including how it evolved around the thriving wine trade.

The tour will zig-zag through the St. James quarter, Place du Palais, Place Saint Pierre, the key side along the river, the Place du Parliament, Place de la Bourse (wine exchange) and ending around the Place de la Comédie. As we wander through like a local, I will also introduce you to our local special pastry, the canelé for tasting and describe how it is a byproduct of the wine industry.

Tour includes seeing the following sights: La Grosse Cloche - Historic Medieval Bell Tower Gate on Southern side of City St. James Quarter - neighborhood between Grosse Cloche and Rue Alsace Lorraine, Place du Palais - Historic square flanked by the historic Porte Cailhau, Place de la Bourse - Historic entrance of City from the river - Statue of 3 graces.

There, you can choose a glass of one of our local wines & I will introduce you to the different wines of Bordeaux - red, white, sweet, dry & sparkling.
