About Bordeaux
Bordeaux scrubbed its grand 18th-century stone clean and revealed one of the most elegant cities in France.
The Place de la Bourse mirrors itself in a thin sheet of water, and the river curves past façades the colour of pale honey. This is the world's wine capital, ringed by legendary vineyards, with Saint-Émilion's hills a short drive into the châteaux.
It's refined but never stuffy, a student city that drinks well and walks its long quays at dusk.
Eat a caramelised canelé and drink a glass of the local red, because here it would be rude not to.
