If you're in and around Bordeaux at the moment and pop into a tourist information centre, a hotel lobby or the reception of a town hall, be sure to pick up a copy of the current issue of Bordeaux Moments!, the free bilingual quarterly magazine produced by the Bordeaux Metropole tourism bureau. And, if you do, check out pages 28 to 31 and read about Invisible Bordeaux's tips to some of the unusual sights to enjoy in and around the city!
The article was originally featured on the new Un Air de Bordeaux website, aimed at getting locals out and about visiting and exploring the surrounding metropole. This second appearance, in old-school print this time, will enable the piece to reach out to visitors to Bordeaux whether they are in the area on business or on a city break.
In the article, the places I recommend to enjoy an oddball take on the metropole will be familiar to loyal readers of the blog: the
scenic Parc Floral, the wide open spaces of Eysines, Le Corbusier's Cité Frugès in Pessac, the banks of the Eau Bourde stream and the national social security museum in Lormont (but do note that this most unusual of museums is only open on weekdays).
As well as its print version, the 56-page Bordeaux Moments!, which also covers subjects such as the brand new Bordeaux Métropole Arena, the Médoc's status as a parc naturel régional, and the influence of Spanish culture on the city, can also be viewed in its entirety online. Get reading!
