    Tips

    A nice place where you can relax. There is also a bus stop from where you can go to the airport and some buses even take you to the beach.

    Since you change the means of transport here, you can see the place as you pass.

    But the place has a high quality of stay. Enjoy it. Maybe with children or grandchildren.

      Place de la Victoire is one of the most important public squares in the city of Bordeaux, capital of the French department of Gironde and the New Aquitaine region.

      On June 17, 2005, two works by Czech sculptor Ivan Theimer were inaugurated: a 16-meter-tall, 50-ton spiral obelisk made of six blocks of red Languedoc marble and bronze and two bronze turtles whose shells are decorated with grapes and names of wine denominations.

        The Place de la Victoire is a circular square on the edge of the old town, in the middle of which is the Porte d’Aquitaine, an impressive triumphal arch from the mid-18th century.
