波尔多 Attractions
Perhaps rivaled only by Champagne on the opposite side of the country, there may be no region more closely tied to winemaking than Bordeaux. In the region alone, there are more than 7,000 chateaus, which together produce nearly 1 billion bottles of wine each year. Sitting in the southwest of France, the city of Bordeaux is the capital of this region. Alongside its mouthwatering wine, it’s famous for its picturesque plazas, world-class museums, and centuries-old architecture sharing the street with a bevy of striking new structures. Known for a certain brand of joy de vivre, locals can frequently be seen lingering over an aperitif at an outdoor cafe or enjoying a leisurely stroll along the waterfront of the winding Garonne River. In the heart of the city, Bordeaux buzzes with chic coffee shops, luxury boutiques, and elegant eateries, while more quirky and eclectic offerings can be found in the outer neighborhoods.
