Like the Seine in Paris and the Tiber in Rome, Bordeaux’s expansion revolved around its river : the Garonne. It’s on a little hilltop, located along the river, that the first inhabitants decided to settle. Since then, men never stopped building and expanding, developping an economy. The celts and romans laid the groundwork of what later became the gallo-roman city of Burdigala. Visit Bordeaux and discover it’s past to better understand its present.
