Porte Cailhau

Discover one of Bordeaux's nuggets of cultural history with a tour of the Porte Cailhau. These storied city gates were built way back in 1495 to commemorate Charles VIII's victory in the Battle of Fornovo, and they've been standing proud ever since. * The perfect way to begin or end a day's exploration of Bordeaux, this bite-size cultural experience offers a glimpse into the city's history, and some truly ooh là là-inducing views of the Pont de pierre bridge.
