Explore two modern architectural masterpieces in Bordeaux that make quite a contrast to the city’s hundreds of historical monuments. The museum La Cité du Vin may appear even more stunning and otherworldly as its curvaceous shape is intended to evoke the soul of wine rather that look like anything recognizable. It is an homage to Bordeaux’s namesake wines and their history and production is celebrated throughout. The interactive exhibits present the information in ways that are meaningful and fascinating. The Belvedere on the 8th floor is an excellent spot for a glass of wine and to admire the 360° view of Bordeaux. Admire the striking exterior of the Tribunal Judiciaire de Bordeaux, a modern architectural masterpiece designed by Richard Rogers. Resembling a series of sleek glass greenhouses, this innovative courthouse stands as a testament to contemporary design and bold creativity.
