What no one tells you about Bordeaux : the most important painter in Spain chose this city to live his last years. Here he painted, here he loved and here he died. On this exclusive 2-hour private tour you’ll discover why Goya chose Bordeaux, where he lived and what he left here, the connection between his darkest work and his exile in France, the 18th century Bordeaux he knew — the same buildings, the same streets, the connection between the city that inspired Paris and the artist who inspired the modern world. Why is this tour unique? Because it's not a translated visit.
