34TH EAED SPRING MEETING IN BORDEAUX, FRANCE
Please click to find out more about each activity.
The Bordeaux region, a place of exchange and commerce for over 2,000 years since the Gallo-Romans began producing wine here, has more buildings on the national list of Historic Monuments than any other region in France outside Paris.
From the wide avenues of neo-classical neighbourhoods surrounding the Quinconces and the Grand Theatre, or the narrow lanes of the Saint-Pierre neighbourhood, this tour invites you to discover the diversity of the heritage of Bordeaux. The exemplary restorations which spread throughout the city represent the wide spectrum of Bordeaux mentalities and attest to its rich history.

An invitation in the heart of a prestigious vineyard combined with the discovery of Saint-Emilion, one of the most interesting towns in France because of the many old buildings confined within a very small space, and the poetic charm of its ruins.
In 1999, for the first time ever, a vineyard landscape was acknowledged as "a cultural landscape" worthy of listing as a World Heritage Site. According to UNESCO, "the Jurisdiction of Saint-Emilion is an outstanding example of an historic vineyard landscape that has survived intact and in activity to the present day."
Bordeaux’ great wines will no longer have secrets for you!
