The first vineyards in Bordeaux appeared thanks to the ancient Romans. It was they who laid the traditions of winemaking, which later glorified this region throughout the world. The Romans also gave an impetus to shipping and the development of trade relations, thanks to which, over the centuries, Bordeaux turned into the largest cultural center of France, not inferior in anything to Paris.
First of all, Bordeaux is known for its gastronomic traditions. Who hasn’t heard of great local wines? Moreover, the elegant, smooth, aristocratic streets and squares of the city attract thousands of tourists every year. Here you can feel the true French sophistication and the ability to enjoy life. The refined atmosphere of Bordeaux can be felt in the Port of the Moon, on the Saint Andre Cathedral Square and on the banks of the picturesque Garonne River.
