"The historic center of Bordeaux, with its so-called Port of the Moon (Port de la Lune), as the city is poetically named after the crescent-shaped bend in the Garonne River, has been declared a cultural monument. Since the 16th century, the city's bourgeoisie has stood for self-confidence, a desire for freedom, pride, and independence. This bourgeoisie, thanks to its far-reaching trade connections and the natural harbor on the banks of the Garonne, used its location to cultivate economic ties with England, Portugal, North Africa, and South America for centuries. The city's architecture reflects this self-confidence, success, and historical continuity. No other city in Central Europe boasts such a homogeneous architectural style as Bordeaux," reads the website accompanying the short (15-minute) German-language film from the series "Treasures of the World – Heritage of Humanity." ``` It is available in the ARD media library at the following link: =>> https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/schaetze-der-welt/bordeaux-historisches-zentrum-von-bordeaux-frankreich-folge-362/3sat/Y3JpZDovL3N3ci5kZS82ODQ1NDk2

Very pretty building on the quays of Bordeaux

If you're lucky, you'll see the bridge rise.

This neo-Gothic church was built to replace the dilapidated church of the Recollect Fathers, a men's convent founded in 1627. In the 19th century, the church wanted to encourage a revival of Catholic worship; it encouraged the construction of new religious buildings in Gironde. Thus, in 1856, the Saint-Géronce church was consecrated. Due to lack of space, its apse was oriented towards the south, contrary to what the liturgy provided. The organ, which has its original construction from 1861, is remarkable. Mass is celebrated there every Sunday morning at 10:00 a.m.

The Church of Saint-André-du-Nom-de-Dieu includes sections whose construction dates from the 12th to the 19th centuries. It was built by the Benedictines of the Abbey of La Sauve-Majeure and was once used by a priory founded after 1115, dependent on the abbey. The dominant style of this fortified church is Romanesque. Its massive, square-based bell tower is imposing. The building boasts beautiful stained-glass windows and a remarkable organ case. The church was last restored in 1977. The Virgin of Mercy is an alabaster sculpture dating from the 16th century and is a listed historic monument.

Nice spot for a break before continuing on the old Eiffel bridge !

Bordeaux's must-see is here. Stunning architecture and an extraordinary permanent exhibition. You'll learn everything about wine from here and elsewhere, from today to Antiquity. And you'll finish with a glass of wine on the 8th floor with a panoramic view of Bordeaux.
