Visited Bordeaux after 20+ years. It was a dump then and it still is! The whole city is being dug up. There is rubbish everywhere,weeds on the pavements and dog muck. Army to control 12 gilets jaunes aged 70+whilst tramps lying in shop doorways and mothers begging on stteets with babies in arms at 12 pm. Do they not have any social services?
Imponent, elegant, huge and beautiful bulding complex that really marks Bordeaux as as "postcard". Worths to be seen, visited and appreciated.
It’s easy to walk to this place from the Tourist Office and it definitely gives you a great feel for the wealth and power of Bordeaux in its heyday! One of the prettiest spots in the city!
Great place to take photos, relax and cool off after all day walking!! A great vibe with so much to sit and watch. Lots of people around so sometimes difficult to get the perfect shot but well worth a visit!
You may miss the mirror on hot summer days because everyone takes of their shoes and cools down walking the mirror pond - but it is a great view and even lots of fun.
