This is BORDEAUX City? (S22EP26)

This week we're in Bordeaux - one of France's most vibrant and dynamic cities. We park our motorhome right next to Lac de Bordeaux at a very comfortable campsite from where it's a pleasant cycle to the river and central Bordeaux. In the last decade and a half, Bordeaux has shed its languid, Belle au Bois Dormant (Sleeping Beauty) image thanks to the vision of city mayor Alain Juppé who has pedestrianised boulevards, restored neoclassical architecture, created a high-tech public transport system and reclaimed Bordeaux’ former industrial wet docks at Bassin à Flots. Half the city (18 sq km) is UNESCO-listed, making it the largest urban World Heritage Site; while world-class architects have designed a bevy of striking new buildings – the Herzog & de Meuron stadium (2015), decanter-shaped La Cité du Vin (2016) and Jean-Jacques Bosc bridge (2018) across the Garonne River included. #wewillnomad #bordeaux #vanlife
