"Bordeaux is a superb city, one of the most beautiful in Europe.  It was built in Roman style.   It was once ruled by the Visigoths and was thus a cultural melting pot. During the Middle Ages, it was just as much English as French of which traces can still be found in its lifestyle. Its vast estuary gave flight to new dreams; Africa, North and South America dropped anchor here.  It shares its name and reputation with a wine produced by a unique soil, time-honoured toil and shrewd elegant trading, all of which made it a universal beverage."
Maurice Druon – French academician.

Bordeaux

Château Cordeillan Bages
Château Cordeillan Bages
For Thierry Marx, heading briskly towards the unknown has never meant losing track.  His respect for tradition doesn't mean closing the door on future innovations.  No surprise then that his dishes have become classics, such as his soya risotto or his calf sweetbread spaghetti.
 
Experts or curious intrepids from across the globe are ready to travel thousands of miles to spend just one night in the heart of the mythical Médoc vineyards to savour his new creations, elegantly paired with the prestigious wines of Château Lynch-Bages.
 
Cuisine like a rite of passage, complete immersion in the original and the unknown. A meditative pause to rethink the flavours which, alongside Thierry Marx, contemplate one another, draw nearer, figure each other out and then come together in all kinds of phantasmagorias.
 
Just one night on planet Marx is enough to familiarize you with an entire universe.
Hôtel Le Saint James - Bouliac
Hôtel Le Saint James - Bouliac
Close to Bordeaux, but nestled in a beautiful natural setting, surrounded by prestigious vineyards in the adorable little village of Bouliac, this hotel has an unusual architectural style. Designed by Jean Nouvel who was inspired by the region’s tobacco drying barns, the Saint-James is a design treasure bathed in natural light.
 
Everything here is devoted to the cult of beauty and pleasure with exceptional wines to accompany the sublime food prepared by top chef Michel Portos.
 
The quality of local produce and the influence of exotic Mediterranean flavours inspire him to create incredible dishes such as “roasted scampi with a sushi of crunchy vegetables and anchovy ice cream” or the “crépinette of pigs feet and squid spiced with sweet pequillos peppers served in their juices with slices of chorizo sausage”.

Pressoir d'argent
Pressoir d'argent
Luxury and elegance: a rare moment reserved for the lucky few.  Le Pressoir d’Argent, on the first floor of the Regent Grand Hotel Bordeaux, has been designed throughout by Jacques Garcia, who drew his inspiration from the sea, with pictures of fish and shellfish by photographer Pierre-Yves Hervy Vaillant and beautiful shells subtly arranged by artist Thomas Boog.  A vast “compass rose” is sculpted on the marquetry floor.
 
The taste of the sea and a noble profession at work in the dining room: the gourmet restaurant Le Pressoir d’Argent brings out all the refinement of the best seafood in the kitchen and at the table, under the patronage of Yves Mattagne, the Michelin starred chef of the "Sea Grill" restaurant in Brussels, and chef Pascal Nibaudeau, in charge of the kitchen.
 
Aficionados and gastronomes from around the world meet at Le Pressoir d’Argent restaurant where one of the finest dining establishments and the Chef’s culinary experience enchante the most discriminating palates.
La Tupina
La Tupina
The fireplace... is the heart of the restaurant.  In the past, the fireplace was used to heat homes in the countryside, but it also provided light.  Evenings were spent hearthside.  It’s also the warm-hearted symbol of La Tupina.  Everything takes place hearthside whether it be arriving clients or the restaurant’s hustle and bustle; crispy pieces of tripe “tricandille” sizzle in a frying pan, the soup is slowly simmering, duck and other fowl are roasting, beef is grilling on the hot embers...

In 1985, Jean Pierre Xiradakis created the “Défense et Sauvegarde des Traditions du Sud Ouest” association which means “The defense and protection of Southwestern France’s traditions”. Some of the greatest local chefs are members: Amat, Guérard, Daguin, and Trama just to name a few.  At that time, the association’s goals were to find local products that had given Southwestern France its gastronomic reputation, inform farmers about the importance of quality produce and encourage them to continue in that direction.

CAPC Museum of Contemporary Art
CAPC Museum of Contemporary Art
The CAPC museum is a timeless achievement:
Classic architecture
You might ask “Is it a basilica or a roadside inn?”
The conversion of the “Entrepôt” into a cultural space and contemporary art museum took place in three phases of construction in 1979, 1984 and 1990.
The Lainé Square warehouse is a perfect example of Bordeaux’s Golden Era - the Valode & Pistre reconversion project is the epitome of architectural pragmatism and elegance.
Museum of Decorative Arts
Museum of Decorative Arts
Collections of paintings, engravings, miniatures, sculptures, furniture, ceramics, glass works, and goldsmithery are all presented consecutively in Hôtel de Lalande’s panelled living rooms built in 1779 “between courtyard and garden” by Bordeaux architect Etienne Laclotte.
They represent a splendid example of French decorative arts, in particular from Bordeaux, dating from the 18th and 19th centuries.
Works from the 1930’s are on display such as ceramics by Rene Buthaud, graphic works of Dupas and Delorme, as well as the work of Bordeaux cabinetmaker Triboy.
Lastly, the “Design” collection begins with the 1950’s display of Memphis group works.
