Bordeaux Self Guided Tour of Wine, Wealth and Slave Ships

Overview

Bordeaux does not want to tell you how it got so rich. Look at the golden facade of Place de la Bourse and see carved faces of African women, quiet witnesses to a fortune built partly on the slave trade. Follow the Garonne's moon-shaped curve past a bell tower that stands apart from its cathedral on purpose, meet a 13-year-old bride who became the most powerful woman in Europe, hear about a shepherd boy calmly told a judge he preferred the taste of little girls because it was tender, and learn about a bronze monument that a WWII foundry worker quietly refused to melt down. Skip fixed schedules and crowds. Walk this self-guided tour of Bordeaux at your own pace, pause when a canele shop catches your eye, resume right where you left off.
