Bordeaux is a magnet
for tourists drawn to its topclass
museums, including the
renowned Cité du Vin and its
glorious architecture. It has
the largest urban area on the
UNESCO world heritage list
encompassing some 1810
hectares. Once the main port for
shipping wine from Bordeaux,
the Port de la Lune has been
regenerated, and former warehouses transformed
into
shops, bars, and restaurants.
