The Sights of Bordeaux: Part II
Bordeaux is a beautiful city, combining the splendor of older times with the beauty of newer ones. There are several places of interest to visit in Bordeaux for the traveler that wants to take the time. Here are just some of the interesting buildings that you will find.
The churches
While there are many beautiful buildings in Bordeaux, some of the most spectacular are the churches. There are several churches in Bordeaux, including those of St. Croix, St. Michael, St. Paul, St. Pierre, and St. Seurin. Also of interest is the Chappelle du College, which is the home of the tomb of Montaigne.
Historical places
For travelers that are more interested in the history of Bordeaux than the modern life, there are plenty of points of interest for them to see as well. One favorite spot is the ruins of a Roman arena.
For art lovers, Bordeaux has a picture gallery that is found on the lower level of the lifairie. For those interested in history, there is a museum of natural history and antiquities that is found in the Rue St. Dominique. These are pretty standard collections, and nothing out of the ordinary. Of more note is the public library, which can also be found in the Rue St. Dominique, and includes over 100,000 books. The most famous of these is a copy of Montaigne's Essays, complete with his own notes and an illustrated translation of Lim.
If you enjoy reading, there is a good reading-room across from the theater. It contains newspapers in English, French, German, and Spanish. There are also bookstores at Chauas-Gayet's and at C. Lawalle'e, Allees de Toumy that provide works in multiple languages.
Rest and relaxation
There are many public baths in Bordeaux. The best ones of the city can be found on opposite sides of the Quinconces.
If you are looking for a hotel, the main ones are the de France, de la Pain, de Paris, de Richelieu, and de Rouen. De la Pain is well known for nice accommodations and good food for a reasonable price. The Café de Paris is also well known for its food and fine wines. Beautiful absorbent coasters are sure to be found at this charming café.
Places to go
While staying in Bordeaux, there are plenty of interesting places that you can visit that are only a short travel distance away. You can take the train up to La Teste and visit the bath houses along the Arcichon. Or you can take a trip by boat up the river to see Langon or La Reole, or head the opposite direction to see Royan.
Also of interest are several historical homes, including Chateau de la Brede, the home of Montesquieu and the Chateau de Blanquefort, the home of the Black Prince. Wine enthusiasts will enjoy visiting the vineyards of Medoc that are known for producing the wines that were drunk by Louis XIV. Tourists can picture him tasting his wines and placing his wine goblet down on an old stone coaster (http://www.thirstycoasters.com/servlet/-strse-Garden-Accents/Categories). The vines produced by the vineyards were considered the nectar of the Gods.
Other wine enthusiasts might enjoy seeing the cellars of Messrs. Barton and Questier, Mr. N. Johnston and Sons or of F. Cutler. These vast cellars contain numerous bottles and casks, and are quite a sight to see under the illumination of candlelight.
