The Saint-Seurin Basilica is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, and is Bordeaux’s oldest church (6th century). Its 11th-century crypt contains the tomb of Saint-Fort, Merovingian sarcophagi, and a vast Christian necropolis with tombs dating from the 4th to the 18th century.
Located in a handsome, 19th-century townhouse in the heart of the city, the recently opened twelve-room hotel is furnished with high-end contemporary furniture from makers such as Edra and features amenities rarely found in hotels of this size in France, including 24-hour room service and air-conditioning.
The Palais Gallien is today the only visible remains of the Roman city of Burdigala. Built in the early 2nd century AD, its original dimensions are impressive, 130 meters long and 114 meters wide. The amphitheatre was located on the outskirts of the ancient city. Games - often cruel - were held here before large crowds. 20-25 000 people could be seated on terraced rows of wooden benches!
The Palais Gallien amphitheatre is listed as a Historical Monument. A few arcades and seating rows are still standing, and can be seen from rues du Palais Gallien, Albert Barraud, and Emile Fourcand.
The 4-star Hotel Burdigala embodies the art-de-vivre of Bordeaux. You will be seduced at the entrance by its porch in blonde Gironde, revealing the charm of an elegant atmosphere, where serenity reigns, far from urban agitation.
