Bordeaux wine exporter has the tradition of welcoming the guest by offering the sample wines and learns about the industry. It will be better if you plan your trip with guide map, and advice about local wines available free from the Maison du Vin (House of Wine). Strolls through Town- The prettiest, most interesting, and most historic neighborhood in Old Bordeaux is the "golden triangle". From here you can walk north to esplanade des Quinconces. It was laid out between 1818 and 1828 and covers nearly 12 hectares (30 acres). A smaller but lovelier square is place de la Bourse, bounded by quays opening onto the Garonne. Churches - The largest and most ostentatious church in Bordeaux is the Cathédrale St-André, place Pey-Berland, near the southern perimeter of the old town. The sculptures on the 13th-century Porte Royale (Royal Door) are admirable; see also the 14th-century sculptures on the North Door. Museum - Musée des Beaux-Arts, 20 cours d'Albret, Jardin du Palais-Rohan, has an outstanding collection from the 15th to the 20th centuries. Works by Perugina, Titian, Rubens, Veronese, Delacroix, and Marquet are on display. Boat Rides - The pont de Pierre, with 17 arches, stretches 478m (1,568 ft.) across the Garonne and is one of the most beautiful bridges in France. Built on orders of Napoléon I in 1813, the bridge can be crossed on foot for a view of the quays and the port.
