Its most renowned hallmarks include wines and arts and thus if you love the two, you will have a lot of fun in the city. Equally enchanting is the gastronomy sector in the city. After a long day exploring the streets of Bordeaux, you are well advised to replenish your energies with some French delicacy and then wash it down with some top-shelf wine. Check out the list of the top eats in the city below.
