Bordeaux: Art, History, Wine
Bordeaux: an elegant old city with an important past and a newly polished style, and a wine region known for grand names like Haut-Brion, Margaux, and Lafitte-Rothschild. A beautiful part of France, the region of Bordeaux stretches between the Atlantic Ocean and the luscious valley of the Dordogne, providing just about everything anyone could ever want: great food, highest quality wines, a beautiful landscape, significant history and magnificent art and architecture. The city of Bordeaux, which sheltered the French government during three wars, is a remarkably intact testament to the 18th century prosperity of an important port city.
