This new edition is intended for English-speaking tourists and residents and guides the reader to the best addresses in the majestic city of Bordeaux together with its wines regions.

It is also a city with an international vocation which in 2007 won UNESCO World Heritage status as “an outstanding urban and architectural ensemble", the largest urban area ever to achieve such a distinction.

“Bordeaux is breathtakingly beautiful, as rich and mellow as the wine it produces.”

The "Bordeaux World Heritage & Its Wines" is rich in images, useful information, and mingles the art of living with a discovery of the Bordeaux vineyards. History, heritage, fêtes and festivals, gastronomy, shopping, gifts, souvenirs and boutiques are all to be found within its covers.

An unforgettable stay is guaranteed for wine lovers with itineraries to highly recommended Châteaux, each with its own architectural appeal and a personal invitation from the owners to discover their vineyard and taste their wines.

A selection of hotels, restaurants, places worth visiting and walks complete this guide.

There’s no other guide book on the market, exclusively in English, which gives such extensive coverage to Bordeaux (120 pages) and its wines (also 200 pages). There are 100 pages of full colour photo reports on individual places which have all been personally visited and inspected.
