The Place des Quinconces in Bordeaux

The Place des Quinconces is one of Bordeaux's most visited landmarks, and for good reason. Located in the heart of the city, and dating from the 19ᵉ century, it is home to the Girondins monument, a true emblem of the Republic. This gigantic esplanade, which owes its name to the way the trees are planted, hosts a number of events throughout the year. It's more than just a square, it's an entire history that we've come here to tell you about!
