Germany and especially Berlin can learn a lot from the transport policy in France. A central bridge is closed to vehicle traffic, free only for trams, buses and cyclists and of course pedestrians. For urban planning reasons, the tram runs on the bridge without overhead lines!

What is remarkable is that, despite its considerable size, the entire cathedral only consists of a single nave.

The "Miroir d'Eau" (Water Mirror) is a striking landmark in Bordeaux, France. It is a shallow water basin created in front of the famous Place de la Bourse building, on the banks of the Garonne River. The Miroir d'Eau is designed to create a reflective surface on which the surrounding building is reflected. This unique and interactive work of art attracts tourists and residents alike. During the day, the Miroir d'Eau constantly changes in appearance depending on the weather and people's interaction. It provides refreshment during hot days as the water is regularly misted to form a thin layer of water on which people can walk or play. At night it is illuminated with colorful lights, creating an enchanting atmosphere. The Miroir d'Eau is an example of modern urban planning and has contributed to Bordeaux's attractiveness as a tourist destination. It is a place where people can enjoy both the visual splendor and the interactive experience.

Great bike ride from Bordeaux. We had planned overnight accommodation in Saint Brice, in a large tent made available for participation. Ecological solar shower toilets. It is located in the chestnut grove (Google Maps). No reservations, just ask on the spot.

The Stone Bridge connects the left bank of the Garonne (Cours Victor Hugo) to the right bank Bastide district (Avenue Thiers). It measures 487 m long and 19 m wide. It constitutes the legal boundary between the maritime domain and the river domain in the port of Bordeaux. The true meaning of the French expression "stone bridge" is "masson bridge". In fact, the bridge is built mainly of brick and not stone. The first bridge over the Garonne in Bordeaux, the Pont de pierre was planned and designed during the First French Empire, under the orders of Napoleon I. While campaigning in Spain, he needed his troops to cross the river quickly, and the initial plan envisioned a wooden bridge, which was easier to construct. Until then, we had to cross the river by boat. Due to lack of means, construction took place subsequently, during the Bourbon Restoration, from 1819 to 1822. During these three years, the builders were faced with numerous challenges due to the strong current and the high amplitude tides, 6 m, at this point in the river. They used a diving bell borrowed from the British to stabilize the bridge piers. The bridge has 17 arches (according to legend the number of letters in the name 'Napoléon Bonaparte'). On the sides, each pile of bricks is topped with a white medallion which must have received the number of Louis XVIII of France, a double L. It was the only bridge in Bordeaux until the completion of the Passerelle Eiffel railway bridge in 1860 and the only road bridge until the construction of the Pont Saint-Jean (Bordeaux) in 1965. The bridge and its tide is a point important part of the Grand Gabarit Route, the logistics program transporting parts for the production of the Airbus A380. The curiosity of the Stone Bridge lies in its interior: it is hollow, full of galleries and staircases which allow its structure and stability to be controlled. Because despite its length (nearly ½ kilometer), this structure demonstrates a certain flexibility to adapt to the movements of the Garonne, and to the loose alluvial bottoms on which it rests. Its 16 piles each rest on approximately 220 metal and wood piles (fir and Landes pine) driven into the sandy mud, themselves reinforced by a system of riprap. Its foundations are fragile and it is now threatened by various pathologies; its 500,000 bricks sag by 2 to 3 mm each year. This is why it is kept under surveillance using movement sensors and an inclinometer placed in the interior galleries. https://www.spotsfrance.com/2022/05/le-pont-de-pierre-premier-pont-de-bordeaux/ Since 2016, the condition of the bridge now makes it permanently closed to traffic except for pedestrians, cyclists, trams, buses, taxis and emergency vehicles.

The Sauve train station is also worth seeing. Information about the railway line, old water crane, barriers and the parked railway carriages, some still need to be restored. The railway cycle path is great at this point.

The Fountain of the Three Graces is a monumental fountain that has been located in the center of the Place de la Bourse in Bordeaux since 1869. The bronze statue represents the three Graces (Charites in Greek mythology): Aglae, Euphrosyne and Thalia. These daughters of Zeus and Eurynome evoke beauty (Aglae), joy (Euphrosyne), and abundance (Thalie). This theme was very common in cities during times of prosperity and there are Fountains of the Three Graces in Montpellier, Nice, Langrune-sur-Mer, Guéret, Vezzani... The base is made of Jurassic marble, the basin is made of cast iron. According to some, the sculptor took inspiration for the faces of the three statues from three rulers of the time: Empress Eugenie, Queen Isabella of Spain and Queen Victoria of England.
