The Experience

Explore how Atlantic trade, slavery and colonial commerce transformed Bordeaux into one of Europe's richest ports. Walk through the historic Quai des Chartrons, once the hub of slave ship expeditions, and explore luxurious merchant houses reflecting the wealth generated from this dark chapter.

Wrap up your journey with a scenic boat ride on the Garonne, gaining a unique perspective of the city’s architecture shaped by its colonial past.
