About this tour
This call looks at the building and courtyard of the city's history museum entirely from outside. You see the facade first, then a quiet courtyard where a handful of carved stone pieces sit in the open air. I explain what the building was used for before it told the story of the river trade.
We start on the street facing the entrance and take questions before moving into the courtyard for a closer look at the stonework outside. A short reading note on the pieces we saw follows the call.
This suits anyone curious about the city's trading past without needing to step inside a museum. It also works well before a longer walking call in the old town.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included
- Internet connection
- Travel to the city
Itinerary
-
Welcome and sound check 5 min
The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Bordeaux before heading out.
-
Museum facade and entrance 15 min
The camera takes in the museum's stone facade from the street, and I explain what the building housed before it became a museum of the city's history.
-
The exterior courtyard 15 min
You see the quiet courtyard beside the building where a few carved stone fragments are displayed outdoors, and I point out details on the pieces closest to the camera.
-
Your questions 7 min
Time to ask anything about Bordeaux: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 3 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Entrecôte à la bordelaise and Chartrons, worth a slower look.
