Bordeaux Essential

---

The city forms a crescent 4 kilometres long on the banks of the Garonne, providing a sweeping view of the gently-curving river and the sublime quaysides. In the morning, the sky is pink or blue; in the evening, copper or purple. At sunset, this is a breathtaking sight. The massive historic buildings form a striking violet-hued contrast to the splendour of the Atlantic clouds gilding the dull bluish-green waters of the river. At dusk, the outline of the city in contrejour, with its many bell towers and turrets, is a view worthy of Venice.
The location has proved to be exceptionally auspicious from its earliest days. Ingeographical terms, Bordeaux was an obvious choice for a settlement, lying as it did at the convergence of major communication routes between Mediterranean and Atlantic, with a waterway that formed the final outpouring of the many rivers flowing down from the Massif central and the Pyrenees. The Garonne, though, reigned supreme. It contained and constrained a city that was constantly seeking new open spaces. On the outskirts were vegetable farms and orchards, vineyards, wetlands, forests, parks with age-old trees and old rural villages forming a close-knit landscape of earth, water and humanity.
