★★★★★8 months agoThis was a must see on our trip to Bordeaux and we went early in the morning to avoid the issues of clashing with the fair which is running in the square. Beautiful fountain sculptures and each side shows something different. A must see for culture lovers in Bordeaux!
Rae Zyon
★★★★★5 months agoFeatures a soaring column topped by a statue of liberty alongside grand bronze fountains that display intricate sculptures and allegorical figures. This site is a central part of the city's historical landscape and offers a beautiful area for walking and photography, especially when the fountains are active.
