Bordeaux was listed, like the Port of the Moon, as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007. Labeled City of Art and History, it has no less than 347 listed buildings, architectural gems from the 18th century.
The Gare Saint-Jean (former Gare du Midi), built in 1855 and its metal canopy covering the tracks, have been listed as historical monuments since 1984.
Bordeaux has also known how to open up to the river and since 2006 its quays offer one of the most beautiful walks.
The revival of the tram, with its first lines inaugurated in 2005, has also largely contributed to restoring the city to its former glory. The buildings and their facades have regained their superbness, it is pleasant to stroll in town, to go shopping in the Cours de l'Intendance or in the very commercial rue Sainte Catherine, 1.2 km long, to stroll, on foot or at Velib, in the Chartrons, Saint-Eloi and Saint-Michel districts, to sit on a café terrace or go to a show at the Grand Théâtre.
The water mirror of the Place de la Bourse, the narrow streets of the protected area, the Pey Berland tower, the Cailhau gate, the big bell, the royal square, the alleys of Tourny... are all emblematic places to discover, while like its many museums.
