MONUMENTAL ARCHITECTURE

The principal buildings here are impressive in their own right, quite apart from the effect from the far side of the Water Mirror. The Fountain of the Three Graces is the final piece making a visit here a central part of touring in Bordeaux. A royal square, it is near the Garonne River. Part of the city walls were demolished so Louis XV could thereby celebrate himself as France [no vanity there]. The core design is neoclassical.

    Superb square
    The large open square dominates the riverside by the old town. It is backed by 18th century French classical style buidings giving the square its grandeur. A pretty fountain is in the centre. The "Miroir d'eau" really turns the square into a spectactular sight both at day and night.

    Open space
    Nice open space to walk and relax. This place is also close to the river Garonne. Several coffee shops and restaurants nearby. Good and frequent tram stops close to this square. Also ideal for children to run a bit freely. This square is situated between Quinconces square and Porte Cailhau. However, in Winter time, there is no water on the water mirror in front. So be careful because you might miss this attraction. We visited Bordeaux in December and it was freezing cold!
