Opis
Guided tour in French led by a historian, official tour guide, and art history professor. Discover Bilbao, from its origins in 1300 to its industrialization and recent transformation.
• Explanations in French by a historian specializing in Bilbao.
• Official guide, therefore authorized to take you inside historic buildings.
Stroll through Old Bilbao, the city center, and the area that has undergone the most recent transformations.
• Discover the centuries-old ties between Bilbao and France through architects, artists, and historical events.
• Discover the new French influences in Bilbao, such as those of industrial designer Philippe Starck, Daniel Buren's Red Arches, and the large spider by artist Louise Bourgeois…
• Together, we will explore the Art Nouveau buildings designed by Jean-Baptiste Darroquy (from Saint-Jean-de-Luz) and the Walloon architect Paul Hankar, as well as the French architecture found at the Arriaga Theater and the Palacio de San Nicolás (designed by Eugène Lavalle).
• Let's discover who these “afrancesados” Bilbao residents were—ministers of King Joseph Bonaparte—whose names grace some of the city's main streets, as well as the story of Rafael Padilla, “Monsieur Chocolat,” the six years of exile in France spent by our writer Miguel de Unamuno (Paris and Hendaye), or the example of George Frêche's Montpellier before Bilbao's most recent transformation.
• Understand the reasons behind Bilbao’s various transformations, including the process that led to the establishment of the Guggenheim Museum.
• Immerse yourself in local life: markets, squares, cultural centers, and museums.
• Practical tips to make your stay in Bilbao and the Basque Country a success.
• Finally, let’s enjoy a drink at “la Catedral,” the San Mamés Stadium, to discuss the careers of Luis Fernández, Bixente Lizarazu, and Aymeric Laporte at Athletic Bilbao (access is normally permitted, but not always).
