Navigation always played a prominent role in Bordeaux and was temporarily the largest port in France.
Bordeaux is a city, that does not impress through outstanding individual buildings, but by a magnificent, almost completely preserved historic townscape: the late baroque arrangement of streets and squares, the impressive harmony of its rows of houses, beautiful parks and gardens. The "facade" of Garonne is world famous: on several kilometers line up high, narrow town houses along the shore, interrupted by single representation buildings. Behind rise up the roofs of churches and old city gates. The historic ensemble is considered the largest, most closed and most beautiful of all of France.
