The capital of France's wine growing industry has undergone quite a transformation over the last decade. The docks and quays have been restored and it is a stylish city with a cosmopolitan air. Bordeaux has the best collection of 18th Century architecture in France and as well as exploring the atmospheric Vieux Bordeaux (old town), the Musee des Beaux Artes, the boutiques on the Rue Sainte-Catherine and the Sunday morning markets along the Quai des Chartons are a must.
