Bordeaux’s History
As you roam and explore the streets and chateaux of Bordeaux, the city’s storied history and architecture is found everywhere.
Bordeaux has been occupied for thousands of years. First by the Celts around 300 BC. Then by the Romans in 60 BC. The English then followed and after the Hundred Years War, Bordeaux fell under French rule. Things settled down in the 18th century and Bordeaux experienced a golden age of prosperity as a result of its wine trade. Many of the city’s buildings (around 5,000 of them) were built during this period and still stand today.
During the 1990s, the mayor of Bordeaux undertook extensive beautification projects to return Bordeaux to its former glory: the quays were entirely restructured, the town center was pedestrianized and the facades of buildings were cleaned. As a result of these efforts, Bordeaux was rewarded with classification on the UNESCO World Heritage List, thus ensuring its protection.
