Le Palais Gallien (Bordeaux, Nouvelle Aquitaine) 1 Verified Reviews | Tablet Hotels

"The Palais Gallien itself is what remains of a Roman amphitheatre right in the heart of Bordeaux; the Hôtel Palais Gallien, perhaps unsurprisingly, is close by, a 19th-century townhouse just around the corner from the ruins. What is surprising about the hotel, however, is its style: historically correct in its exteriors and public spaces, but with a very up-to-date contemporary-classic aesthetic in its rooms and suites. They’re luxurious, make no mistake — as are the Nuxe spa and the chic little courtyard pool. La Table de Montaigne, the hotel’s gastronomic restaurant, is a particular highlight." - Tablet Hotels

What a find! As someone who has visited a lot of Roman sites in Europe, this one was easy to find and the history around the area, including why there is so little left was worth the walk. We approached it from two different streets and spent some time discussing the way that the area would have looked and how large the amphitheatre would have been.

A hidden spot in Bordeaux. It's interesting but you won't spend more than 20 minutes there 😅

Small but superb piece of history. Easy to access.

Another nice site in St Seurin & Fondaudege. Good to see it on you way to the park if you manage to visit.

A remarkable Roman remain in a residential district 15 minutes walk from the city centre

NICE BUT NOT MUCH TO IT You can visit this ruin from two streets, though those two streets aren't at all interconnected (you have to walk around). You can see it from the street level, but you can't walk around the ruins yourself. It's an interesting piece of Roman history, but you won't be here any more than 5 minutes, as there's not much more to see other than what you see in the pictures.

Well worth visiting both sides of this amphitheater. It's interesting to think about the significance of this building over time. In the 18th century it was irrelevant and stood in the way of a housing developer. What does it mean today?

This place is an absolute hidden gem, contrary to the disappointing museum of aquitaine, which was closed. If you are extremely lucky, you can see the local furry tour guide (a cat), who will make your visit even more worth the effort. 10/10 would visit again.
