Activity itinerary

Tribunal Judiciaire de Bordeaux
  • 20m
Our tour begins with the discovery of Richard Rogers' masterpiece, an all glass and wood attempt to open Justice to the city. This stage is the introduction to the discovery of the contemporary face of Bordeaux
Mama Shelter Bordeaux
  • 20m
The former headquarters of the Régie Municipale du Gaz de Bordeaux (architect Raoul Jourde, 1935) was rehabilitated in 2013 by the King Kong and Philippe Starck agency to become Mama Shelter, a 97-room urban hotel with a lounge bar with panoramic terrace.
Promenade Sainte Catherine
  • 10m
Promenade Sainte-Catherine (architects Valode & Pistre, 2015) is an urban courtyard dedicated to commerce and leisure, along the commercial artery of Rue Sainte-Catherine. It rises in place of the former Sud-Ouest printing works.
Square Vinet
  • 10m
Discover Square Vinet, installed in 2005 in one of the few hollow spaces in the medieval town, with a plant wall designed by Patrick Blanc.
The Water Mirror
  • 20m
The Water Mirror is the centrepiece of the redeployment of the quays of the Garonne, an urban walk of more than 4.5 km. We will take advantage of this urban element, imagined by the landscaper Michel Corajoud in 2009 and a real popular success, to talk about the recent developments of the city and a view of the right bank.
FRAC nouvelle Aquitaine MeCA
  • 20m
La Méca is the bridgehead of the Euratlantique operation, for a reconquest of the banks of the Garonne. Cultural centre opened in 2019, it is the result of the collaboration between the architects BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group) and Freaks.
