Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- NI_Traveller2014Belfast, UK82 contributionsThis attraction was easy to get to by tram and is also on the open-top bus tour. There is a lot to see inside, all about the world of wine, obviously. You could easily spend half a day there. We enjoyed it.Written 7 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- phil pNorthallerton, UK116 contributionsThe light show was really good, interesting and different, well worth a visit and free parking.
Just wish the Mondrian part of the show was a bit slower.Written 13 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Joanie HDagenham, UK606 contributionsWe did not go inside the cathedral, but we looked it from outside and we were very impressed. It looked like it had been cleaned recently as the stone was a very creamy white colour. The architecture is impressive , lots of masonry to look at. The carvings are impressive. It is a very big cathedral, you can see the bell tower and the spire which stands out, especially when you see the town from a distance.Written 23 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- julie pCape Town, South Africa67 contributionsThis was our first tour at the beginning of our Bordeaux trip. We were able to see how the area and its trade history developed into a main hub of European wines. Lovely exhibits of original photos, artifacts etc. Definitely worth a visit!!Written 19 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Several fishmongers and butchers, as well as vegetable stalls.

Described as a masterpiece of European architecture, it is located in the beautiful and central Place de la Comédie. Neoclassical in style, it evokes musings of ancient architecture thanks to its Corinthian columns. The Grand Théâtre is fronted by a columned portico, with 12 impressive Corinthian columns adorning its façade. The portico is crowned by 12 stone statue representing goddesses and muses -9 muses and 3 goddess – Minerva, Venus and Juno.
I was surprised to discover that it served as inspiration for designing the Paris opera house as the staircase served as a model for the Opera Garnier in Paris.
Our guide explained that thanks to precise acoustic calculations, the theater auditorium is famous for its excellent acoustics.
It is no coincidence that the French National Assembly moved here when Paris was occupied by the Prussians during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871.
Unfortunately, we could not view the interior, perhaps this will be a reason to return to Bordeaux.
Surprisingly, once we walked around the building, we found it to be domed, however, if you stand far enough back on Allées de Tourny you can snap a great picture of this architectural beauty.
Today the theatre is the seat of the Opéra National de Bordeaux.Written 26 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

easy to find near the cathedral and quite cheap.Written 30 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Their purpose was to be part of the anti-shipping campaign against the Allies. About 1,600 men were stationed here and there would have been 30 subs.
After the war ended (and it was determined the bunkers could not be destroyed), 1/3 of the area was converted into space for exhibits.
Our vantage point was from a distance and that was actually chilling. The bunkers are eerie, foreboding, graffiti-covered reminders of the war to end all wars.Written 12 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

With their help we planned our next few days.Written 6 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

As luck would have it, we were there a few minutes after Noon and foudn that they ahad a Mass 1t 12:15PM so we were able to attend. The church is beautiful and is very understated on a side lane that may be difficult to find but it is there quite close in the Grand Theatre section, just across from the tram stop. A hidden jewel.Written 26 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- NemoTravelerAarhus, Denmark812 contributionsThe art museum is located in a palace in downtown Bordeaux not far from the Palais de Justice and with excellent public transportation nearby.
The exhibitions are divided into two periods of time with the older works located in the south wing and the works from the 19th and 20th century in the north wing. There is a nice green area between the wings and when we visited several guests enjoyed the nice weather and the surroundings.
We chose to take a closer look at the north wing where works by Matisse, Picasso, Renoir and also some local artist from the same period of time. Obviously it would not be fair to compare this museum to some of the world class museums in Paris, but we enjoyed our visit here.Written 21 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It currently has a very interesting exhibition on the origins of racism and that was an unexpected learning experience; very eye-opening. The rest of the museum is dedicated to explaining how nature is shaped with particular focus on the evolution of species. This place is good for kids. They have plenty of interactive panels and games throughout the museum. It is also ideal for any science enthusiast.Written 5 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
