Bordeaux has famously become one of the leading destinations for wine lovers. With the fine wine markets dotted around the streets and the authentic French culture bursting throughout the city, it is irresistible to anyone. This fabulous city doesn’t stop at wine; due to its wonderful 18th century architecture, Bordeaux was rightfully gifted the title of ‘Little Paris’ about 200 years ago. People from all over the world travel to capture a glimpse of this stunning place, and the city offers not only memory making leisure but exceptional cuisine. Their outstanding buildings, landscapes and culture have effortlessly brought an essence of beauty to our collection and have allowed our pieces to be showcased in such a unique yet timeless way.
Miroir d'Eau
Similarly, to our collections, one of Bordeaux’s main attractions mixes both classic and contemporary styles to create an outstanding outcome. The ‘Mirror of Water’ or ‘Miroir d'Eau’ was designed by landscape artist, Micheal Corajoud and he created this picture-perfect installation to capture the drama of the Place de la Bourse. This spectacular pool reflects the surrounding area magnificently and has even become a place where people can leisurely paddle around on a warm summer’s day. Being central to Bordeaux, this is where local friends and family meet so they can begin a day of creating memories around the streets of this French city.
Opéra National de Bordeaux
For over two centuries, The Grand-Theatre has taken visitor’s breath away, due to its dramatic beauty. This monument is one of the oldest and most iconic theatres in Europe and is still considered one of the most stunning theatres to have ever existed. Victor Louis was the architect behind this grand structure, and this has allowed legends such as Liszt, Cinti-Damoreau and Chaliapine to perform within these walls. Not to mention, the 1.2 tonne chandelier that has been showcasing itself since 1917. This piece is crafted from Bohemia Crystals and contains 400 lights to impress each individual guest.

This stunning monument dates back to 1494 and has remained almost the same, so visitors can travel back in time to early French culture.
