👍👍 A very nice spot to visit, stroll through or chill at. It’s free to enter, you could do a guided tour if desired but there are enough information signs to give you the basic history updates about this place. There are some shops and restaurants within the citadel walls but they are touristy, althoug...

👍👍 Lovely view and fun place to hang out at.

👍👍 Super 👍

👍 I sometimes wonder what people who write negative reviews expect when they seek a place out to visit?! Chateau Tiregand is a case in point. True, they only have 3 or 4 wines on tasting. But these are a good example of their full range. I owned a vineyard on New Zealand where we had a huge range of...

The 15th-century Gothic bell tower of the cathedral, offering far-reaching views of the city.

👍👍 To be fair I didn't think much of it at first glance and was slightly worried about whether or not it would be nice visit due to some negative reviews about empty rooms and what not.

👍👍 Really incredible Chateau that was purchased by two brothers who decided to turn it into a replica of Versailles. Sadly, they run out of money, and it has been left to volunteers to continue the brothers' dream. They have done quite an astonishing job, as you can see from the photos. The spaces are...

👍 A great start, but a few improvements required. Pretty cheap for a family of 4. A bit tricky for those who don't speak great French. The pdf supplied doesn't match the information boards as you go along, so you rely on Google translate to understand the more complex explanations. Is also really har...

Historic city gate of Bordeaux, built during the mid-1700s in the Neoclassical style.
