🍷🇫🇷 Bordeaux Review – The Wine Capital of France

“If Paris is love, Bordeaux is a passion as deep as fine red wine.” ⸻ 🏛️ Old but not old Bordeaux is a city full of ancient French architecture mixed with modernity. Walking in the old city (UNESCO World Heritage Site) feels like going back in time. The charming cream-colored stone buildings line the narrow cobblestone streets lined with bookstores, cafes and small wine bars. ⸻ 🍷 World-class wine city Of course, when visiting Bordeaux, you must talk about wine. 🍇 • There are many vineyards around the city, such as Médoc, Saint-Émilion, Graves. • We went to the Cité du Vin, an amazing wine museum that tells all about wine from around the world (both real tasting and interactive viewing). The highlight was the rooftop wine tasting with a great view of the Garonne River! ⸻ 🌉 Must-visit check-in points • Place de la Bourse & Miroir d’eau: A magnificent reflecting plaza that is great for taking pictures at any time, especially at night when the lights reflect on the water, making it a very romantic sight. • Pont de Pierre: An old stone bridge spanning the river with a beautiful city view. • Rue Sainte-Catherine: The longest shopping street in Europe! A leisurely walk filled with shops, fashion brands, and French pastries. ⸻ 🍽️ Local French food We tried • Entrecôte à la Bordelaise (steak with red wine sauce) • Canéles, a small local pastry with a crispy outside and soft inside, sweet and fragrant. • And Bordeaux Supérieur red wine that is very strong but smooth. Most restaurants have a good atmosphere, where you can sit and relax for a long time with candlelight and soft music. 🎶 ⸻ 🚶 A city suitable for walking Bordeaux is a city that is fun to walk, easy to walk, and you will fall in love with it. Whether it's a riverside park, a bicycle path Or the ancient area of Saint-Pierre — every corner seems to have a story ⸻ 💬 Summary of impressions “Bordeaux is not a big, magnificent city, but a city that is ‘well-rounded’ like a glass of good wine — the more you drink, the more you love it, the deeper you are, the more you are lost.”
