This was our best port so far. Right in the heart of the city. Amazing architecture/history, great shopping, lots of great attractions in easy walking distance. Lots of open spaces and so many casual places to get food and a drink. As the grape/ growing region of the Garonne Valley was so close to the port/ 50 minutes away by bus, we ventured to the village of Saint Emillion, it was beautiful. Our whole experience was excellent.

We really enjoyed seeing this large city gate built in 1494. It was part of the defensive wall around Bordeaux during the Middle Ages. It seems the 35 metre tall city gate remains much the same as it did when originally constructed. It is an attractive historic monument worth viewing from both sides while sightseeing around the area.

Worth a walk to see. I didn't go inside, but it's a nice looking building from both sides to get some nice photos.

Impressive and beautiful views. Built back in late 1490 to celebrate King Charles VIIIs victory.

It’s a really nice to visit this medieval monument. It’s 4 floors , the stairs are small and give a medieval feeling and the AI presentations are really interactive. Totally worth it if you wanna see Bordeaux from high and learn some history about the region

A small beautiful place to see. It's like having a small Castle within the busy city.

It’s medieval time, that large city gate gives you a stunning view. You can go inside to the top of the gate.
