One of the 'musts' in the city is to visit Rue de Notre Dame when staying in Bordeaux. It's a lively pedestrian street that abounds in spectacular places. Instagram fans will find dozens of settings for taking new photos there. Rue de Notre Dame is breathtaking and charming because of its architecture, tiny balconies decorated with plants and colourful flowers, the smell of freshly baked pastry, and antique market spots.

The people of Bordeaux call Saint-Michel 'the Spire.' It's a 114-metre free-standing bell tower. You can learn more about its history, role in the city development, and mummies from a video projection in the underground crypt. You can also climb a panoramic terrace and see the cityscape from the 47 metres height. The tower operates from 10:00 to 18:00 daily with a lunch hour from 13:00 to 14:00. The last climb begins 30 minutes before closing.

Visit the museum to find a collection of objects and documents that illustrate life in Bordeaux and Aquitaine from ancient times until nowadays. Observe pieces of art from Oceania and Africa to trace the development of Bordeaux as a harbour city. You can find the Museum of Aquitaine in the central area, close to Tour Pey-Berland and St. Andrew's Cathedral. Visit the museum from 13:00 to 18:00 daily except for Mondays and bank holidays.
