Description
Chartrons, one of the most beautiful quarters of Bordeaux, was the very heart of Bordeaux’s wine trade. Food Lover Tour has crafted a walking food tour to discover the very best of Chartrons.
Chartrons was at the centre of Bordeaux’s wine trade, millions of barrels of wine were rolled down the rue Notre Dame and loaded onto ships from its bustling docks.
Our tour starts on the quayside where our expert guide will lead you through the history of Bordeaux's docks and introduce you to its colonial past.
