The beautiful buildings are an excellent indication of the new Bordeaux. The land once belonged to a former Carthusian monastery (Chartreux in French, which leads to the current name, Les Chartrons), drained by the Dutch in the 17th century. It was once home to English, Scottish, Irish, Scandinavian and German merchants, who built fine houses and cellars. Cours Xavier Arnozan (formerly Pavé des Chartrons) is one of the city's most aristocratic and elegant streets. It was always a sign of social status to live on the "Pavé" in the last century. We recommend the Quai des Marques, an ideal location with parking and streetcar stop nearby, where you can shop and brunch in an open-air café overlooking the Jacques Chaban-Delmas bridge. And let's not forget the new Musée International du Vin, just a 5-minute walk away! A must. THE CITY Bordeaux has always been a dynamic, cosmopolitan city, and continues to reveal exciting new facets of its character. Its bold modernism has made it a must-see destination for anyone interested in French culture, lifestyle... and wine! At the heart of a legendary wine-growing region, this dynamic, sophisticated city is one of the most elegant in France, and has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007.
