Bordeaux, France

1 hour 30 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: French

Immerse yourself in the Bordeaux of 1492, a bustling, commercial city already full of life.

This guided tour explores the daily life of Bordeauxers in the late Middle Ages, between narrow streets, noisy markets and active harbour, far from major dates and famous figures. Through concrete themes — food, wine, trade, housing and urban planning — discover how the inhabitants lived, worked and moved around the city, while managing its nuisance and promiscuity.

Dynamic and immersive, this tour offers a lively reading of Bordeaux’s heritage and an original look at the city of yesterday. A unique experience to understand Bordeaux otherwise.
