Duration:
02:00 hours
Description
See Bordeaux lit up after dark on a private evening car tour from your hotel: the Miroir d'Eau, Pont de Pierre, the Grand Théâtre and an illuminated Gothic church.
Discover how Bordeaux's classical architecture transforms after dark on a private evening tour by car, built around the city's best illuminated views and nighttime photo spots. Your own English speaking driver/guide picks you up at your accommodation and lets you choose how long to spend at each stop, so you can take your time with the camera or simply enjoy the scenery.
Start at Place de la Bourse, where soft golden lights reflect off the classical façades and across the shallow waters of the Miroir d'Eau, one of the most iconic nighttime photo spots in France. Continue to Pont de Pierre, the oldest bridge in Bordeaux, its evenly spaced lampposts glowing over the Garonne River.
Next, pass through the Grand Théâtre and Allées de Tourny, where 18th-century architecture is lit in a soft, elegant glow and café lights and passing trams bring the square to life. End at one of Bordeaux's illuminated Gothic churches, Basilique Saint-Michel or Cathedral Saint-André, whose towering spires make for moody and memorable shots, before your driver/guide returns you to your accommodation.
