Walk of the Quays, Bordeaux, Aquitaine, France
The quayside in Bordeaux is one of the most magnificent waterfronts in the world thanks to beautiful 18th century façades lining the river and numerous listed historic buildings. They are the heart of an outstanding urban ensemble designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2007.
This part of the city with its various facets is defining a new lifestyle for the entire Bordeaux area. The lawns, parks, and gardens along the Garonne have become great places to take a walk, ride a bike, go shopping or simply relax and enjoy oneself.
The Saint Michel sports park and the skate park are great places to enjoy a little exercise in a unique setting. The Miroir d’Eau reflecting pool across from Place de la Bourse has several children’s play areas and illustrates the quays’ fun and magical atmosphere.
