Thanks for the photos... I've never made it to Bordeaux, and the wine is becoming almost too expensive to drink (thanks, Chinese) but it looks very nice.

Great, thanks for this. She's listed in the world heritage for her 18th century downtown architecture. Some of the most stylish stuff in France, the b$tch is well off thanks to her wine business.

I hear Bordeaux is really an underrated city.

I've never been, but I have to visit soon! Looks beautiful!

Abroad, Paris tends to shadow anything else in France, that's surely unfair.

Bordeaux is partly an original piece of the 18th century, there is only very few like that. Even in the historic core of Paris, sites of that period are smaller and drowned in the later architecture, while Bordeaux keeps on highlighting it in its historic downtown.

Not sure cause I'm no expert, but I believe the site is all the more valuable because the period is regarded the greatest and most influencial of the French architecture. Specialists may confirm. That part of town will obviously be preserved, there's no way to alter its historic purpose but of course, the city keeps on developing some new stuff in other neighborhoods.
