Bordeaux is ready for its close-up! After years of improvements, modern public transportation is in place and the city is gleaming after a wave of restorations. When visiting this lovely destination, be sure to walk across the Garonne River-spanning Stone Bridge (17 arches in all!) and see Place des Quinconces, France's grandest public square. Gothic Cathédrale Saint-André, and famous art museums like Musée des Beaux-Arts de Bordeaux are must-sees as well. The city is the perfect launch point, too, for going tasting in this lovely wine-producing region.
