Take a bow, Zeus! This silvery steed thrilled billions of spectators worldwide when it stormed down the Seine in Paris at the Olympic Games Opening Ceremony on July 26, 2024!
If you didn’t see it then, don’t miss this chance to catch it in #Bordeaux, at the Jardin Public, where it will be on display until Friday, 9 May.

Summer comes early to #bordeaux this April, making it a little easier to forget #wars, #rariffs and crazy #worldleaders - for a few moments at least. Bordeaux is humming and zinging again, the #tourists are back (great to see you all!). Time to wake up my insta!

January in #bordeaux and now is a great time to ride the new Le Bato river shuttle 😀
This is such a scenic way to enjoy fabulous views of Bordeaux and its stunning architecture. Hurry, hurry, no summer queues in sight yet, but we hope to see a bumper crop of visitors in Bordeaux this year. Feeling #positive 🤩

Out on my walks around Bordeaux, I took these pics of the majestic Church of Saint-Louis-des-Chartrons from my new favourite rooftop venue @tchanquebordeaux (don’t miss it: fabulous views of Bordeaux, and the staff are just so welcoming 🥰)!

This gothic revival church is dedicated to Saint Louis, king of France from 1226 to 1270.

It was built between 1874 and 1880; its two 58-metre spires are among the tallest in Bordeaux. Beautiful stained glass windows. One of the hidden gems of Bordeaux on the very pretty Rue Notre Dame.

It’s Sunday, December 1, and we have a balcony view of the Bordeaux half-marathon! This year’s event will see around 13,000 joyous runners follow a route of just over 20 km that will take them past some of the most emblematic spots in this beautiful city: the Pont Chaban Delmas, the Pont de Pierre, Place Tourny, Bassins à Flot and the Cité du Vin.

I feel lifted by the energetic, hopeful, joyful buzz of this event! —-> Said from the safety of my window with a hot cup of coffee in my hand 🤩🥳🤣

Totally sympathetic to French farmers, I know you all work so hard to put quality food on our plates, but please 🙏 , I hope this isn’t destined to be dumped on the Miroir d’Eau, as earlier in the year, when a lot of damage was caused to this popular Bordeaux landmark …

The other day I took a ride on the new third section of the river shuttle.

The shuttle service now runs as follows:

1 Lormont - Cité du Vin - Lormont
2 Les Hangars - Darwin - Quinconces - Stalingrad (and return)
3 Benauge - Bègles - Benauge

The third section runs from the pontoon just behind the Café du Port - a bit hard to find the first time!

The 20-minute non-stop trip to Bègles provides a chance to admire the emblematic bridges of Bordeaux!

The trip starts from the Pont de Pierre, the oldest bridge in Bordeaux, commissioned by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1810. It was finally inaugurated in 1822, three months after the death of Napoleon.

The boat then passes under the Pont Saint Jean, inaugurated in 1965. It plays a crucial role in Bordeaux’s rail network.

The Eiffel Foot Bridge is next, designed by the workshops of Gustave Eiffel. Inaugurated in 1860, the Eiffel Bridge was originally designed as a railway bridge.

Next up we have the Pont Simone Veil, Bordeaux’s newest bridge, inaugurated in 2024. With its industrial design and steel construction, this bridge has been designed to provide a public space on the water.

And finally, we pass under the Pont François Mitterrand before docking at the port of Bègles.

In addition to the bridges, this short river trip also affords great views of many exciting the architectural developments such as the Meca complex and the Arkea Arena.

#bordeaux is just packed with sumptuous architecture, beautiful sculptures, fountains and other ornate decoration to be enjoyed as you wander through the picturesque streets and cobbled lanes.

This beguiling young lady is the nymph of Font d’Audège. Created by local sculptor Louis de Coëffard de Mazerolles in 1865, sits in the shade of several European nettle trees at the Place Charles-Gruet on Rue Fondaudège.

The ornate fountain was designed by architect Louis Garros (1833-1911), who is also the author of the fountain at the Place du Parlement in the centre of Bordeaux.
