Bordeaux
 Bordeaux is an elegant city with grand 18th century buildings in the
main area of the city (although with some shabby areas too!). It
is frequently compared to Paris and is sometimes called "petite
Paris".
Bordeaux has a renowned philharmonic orchestra and there are several annual festivals.
Some of its historic buildings are well worth visiting, like the classically styled Grand Théâtre on the Place de la Comédie, which served as a model for the Opéra in Paris, and the majestic Cathédrale St-André, which can compete with Notre-Dame.
