Traveler reviews
Theresa Hoban
★★★★★4 years agoThis is worth the stop and time to tour. They have done a very nice job of displaying the architectural history of Bordeaux and the changes from when it was a busy port. The movies are also very educational. The historical preservation initiatives are explained in great detail. The staff of the center are very nice and experienced with educating tourists about the urban development.
