2 BORDEAUX, THE ATLANTIC GEM A VIBRANT CITY WITH A RICH AND UNIQUE HERITAGE With its typical 18th-century centre counting over 350 listed buildings or historic monuments, Bordeaux was the first city to be designated an outstanding urban and architectural ensemble by UNESCO. With its magnificent classic settings, old cobbled streets, charming landscaped gardens and monuments steeped in history, Bordeaux definitely has plenty to enchant its visitors. WORLD WINE CAPITAL The mere name of Bordeaux evokes the prestige of its winemaking tradition all around the world. Famous for its legendary vineyards, iconic Grands crus classés and châteaux, Bordeaux offers an unforgettable experience around the arts of wine. "L ART DE VIVRE À LA FRANÇAISE" Bordeaux is also notable for its lifestyle and gastronomy from southwest France, ranging from coveted restaurants with internationally-acclaimed chefs at their helm (Gordon Ramsay, Philippe Etchebest) to colourful foodmarkets, local cafés and terraces.
