 Bordeaux has been officially included on the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites as of 28 June 2007. This distinction recognises the beauty and unity of style of Bordeaux's architectural heritage, which has developed harmoniously over the centuries and remained remarkably well-preserved.
"Bordeaux is a mythical town, whose name conjures up fine wines and beautiful chateaux"
Bordeaux is a great historical city, but it is also a vigorous regional capital and a university town that accommodates 90,000 students every year. It has a population of 700, 000. A very varied cultural programme, lively nightlife and superb architecture make the city a favourite port of call for many! |
