Miroir d'eau

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the simple yet beautiful Miroir d'Eau. It is genius to create something that reflects the old and the new of a city! It is a wonderful feeling to remove one’s shoes and splash and slide your way across its surface! So many reviewers comment on how nice it is for children. I say it is just as nice for children of all ages…I’m 70 years old and a kid at heart…and I had a blast frolicking in the water! And if you get a clear, calm day, the reflections are amazing!! Go, enjoy…it’s free and it’s beautiful!

The Miroir d'eau is just a playground with sprinkles. It is right next to the promenade at the river and across the street from the Place de la Bourse, not in front it, as appearing in the touristic brochures. The thin layer of water creates a reflective surface for the sky or Place de la Bourse buildings across the street. Popular water playground with children and to sit around to cool down in the warmer months or as a gorgeous, instagramable setting for pictures during the day or at night.

Such a great idea, simple that created a beautiful landscape. Reflecting the surrouding, the sky, the activities of people. Big playground for everyone especially kids 🥳

An interesting location and use of water in a public space. Unfortunately the day we were in Bordeaux it was windy. The evening was calmer and allowed for some good reflections.

Fascinating creation right next to the river. You can see a clear reflection of people and buildings, if it is not too windy. They have two different exhibitions, a mist spray followed by about 2cm deep of water coming up from the bottom.

The Water Mirror in Bordeaux is deceptively simple yet magical. Its charm lies in the cyclical transformation it undergoes, the water functions as a perfect mirror, then a gentle fog is released across the surface creating a dream-like ambiance.

Very beautifil and must visit place in Bordeaux. You can enjoy alone, with family. Beautiful reflection of the building I captured in the water mirror. Biggest water mirtor in the world.

Beautiful place excellent for cooling your feet on a hot day. Amazing photo opportunities. Lovely walk along the river.
