Discover Bordeaux in a unique way: through the eyes, words, and legacies of its greatest writers and historical figures. This 2-hour tour takes you through iconic locations such as the Miroir d’Eau, where François Mauriac found reflections of the soul, and the Place de la Bourse, a hallmark of the Enlightenment era associated with Montesquieu.
