In this guide you will have suggestions on what to visit, where to eat and where to focus your time at! Did you know that this city actually inspired Haussmann (responsible for the renovation of Paris)? So, instead of Bordeaux being known as "the little Paris", Paris should be known as "the big Bordeaux"! I've been to Bordeaux two times: in the winter and in the summer. In the winter, the gothic architecture of the church and cathedrals mixes up with the naked trees. In the summer, the all vibe of the city changes, every terrace is full of live and all the fountains have water (in the winter, all the fountains don't have water, because of the risk of freezing).
