“Welcome to Bordeaux! We're going to see the best of Bordeaux.
“Between the 12th and 15th centuries, Bordeaux was not fully French… it was actually English for over 300 years!”
Hundred Years' War
“By the end of this tour, you’ll understand how Bordeaux went from English wine capital… to French royal prize.”
“This Porte Cailhau gate was built in 1495… but it celebrates a French king: Charles VIII.”
“Before this, Bordeaux was loyal to the English crown. When France finally took control, monuments like this were built to remind everyone… who was now in charge.”
