Program
Bordeaux is a coastal and cultural city, steeped in history and offers unique 18th century architecture. The city also features ten municipal museums, safeguarding its cultural heritage, the Musée d'Aquitaine (museum of regional history), the Musée des Beaux Arts (art gallery), the Musée des Arts Décoratifs (museum of applied art) and the CAPC (museum of contemporary art). There is also a national museum and several private museums, two of which are wine museums. The area surrounding Bordeaux (endless Atlantic coast beaches, pine forests, lake districts, traditional villages …) is particularly attractive. You will also have the chance to discover the Bordelais – the wine region around Bordeaux. We will be visiting St. Emilion, a jewel hidden away in the vineyards. The name St. Emilion is used for a special quality wine. After a walk through the picturesque narrow streets and a visit to the wine cellar and some wine tasting, we return to La Rochelle.
