Stone faces wink from Bordeaux’s golden facades and echoes of revolution ripple under your feet. Here, beauty masks secrets and every elegant arch harbors stories darker than wine cellars at midnight.

Unlock Bordeaux on a self-guided audio tour that slips past the obvious to unearth political intrigue, hidden scandals, and centuries-old mysteries most visitors never notice.

What truly happened when Place Gambetta transformed from garden cemetery to guillotine stage? Why did ancient bishops risk everything to confront heresies beneath those soaring cathedral towers? Could the city’s masquerading mascarons be watching—and laughing—right now?

Journey through lively squares, sun-drenched boulevards, and hushed cathedral aisles. Feel history rushing around you as revolutionaries gather, saints perform miracles, and forgotten moments surface where café-goers now linger. See Bordeaux with new eyes: layered, dramatic, endlessly alive.

Ready to follow the clues hidden in every stone? Your adventure starts here—dare to step into the city’s hidden heart.
