Bordeaux: topics

One of the favorite walking spots for locals is Pont de Pierre. The bridge is very romantic due to the view of the city that opens up from here and also for the fact that it is operational still. This bridge was built at the beginning of the 19th century. Along the way you can find sculptures with profiles of Napoleon (since it was built on his instructions), which gives the area a special flavor. The reason behind the construction is that the current of the river was very strong, and in the end, the bridge became another symbol of the city. Porte Cailhau is also an interesting structure. The medieval gates were built at the end of the 15th century and despite its venerable age, it still looks stunning. Nearby you can find many interesting cafes too.

Among the religious monuments in the city, there are several interesting churches worth mentioning. Firstly there is the Cathédrale Saint-André, one of the most beautiful cathedrals in the city, which amazes with its majesty. The interior decoration is more than modest, however, it is good because the atmosphere inside is calm and peaceful. The Église Sainte-Croix, built in the Romanesque style, is another jewel of architecture that you should not fail to visit. The church was built at the beginning of the 12th century and is one of the oldest buildings in the city. Inside you can admire the beautiful fine art collection of the 17th-19th centuries. There is one more building worth mentioning, we are talking about Institut Culturel Bernard Magrez. This place will definitely appeal to connoisseurs of modern art.
