Bonjour! Welcome to Bordeaux ! My name is Julie, and I was born and raised in the countryside of Bordeaux, surrounded by vineyards. I moved to Paris right after graduation to work as a licensed tour guide for some of the most emblematic French monuments and sites (the Loire Valley castles, Louvre Museum, Normandy, and more!). It was an enriching experience ! When I came back to Bordeaux, I decided to specialize in wine (how could I not), and I'm now a full-time guide, who provides private wine and History tours with my minivan in the Bordeaux region, but also other areas such as the Dordogne, french Basque Country or the Arcachon Bay. I've always worked in tourism and I am a curious person, so I keep learning every day. Thanks to my experiences in various French regions, I will be able to adapt to your interests and customize THE tour you need. I am a very attentive person and I really want you to enjoy your time here. So do not hesitate to ask me for advice! I'm really looking forward to welcoming you to my region so I can learn more about you. My objective is not to give you a lecture, but rather to have a discussion to make it more enjoyable for you (and for me!). A bientôt!

Overview of your Bordeaux tour
Due to a strategic situation, Bordeaux was occupied by the Nazi army from 1940 to 1944. This occupation has left some remains in the region, especially the huge submarine base, which hasn’t been destroyed since the end of the war. Erected to shelter the famous German U-BOOT, the submarine base has turned into a cultural exhibition area. It’s now the world’s biggest immersive art center (13 000m²) and contributes to the new economic development of the northern part of the city.
Your Bordeaux tour itinerary
If you have purchased your tickets to visit the exhibition “Bassins des Lumières” and want to know more about the construction of this amazing military place, I will be happy to tell you everything about the transformation of this part of the port of Bordeaux. Because I am not allowed to talk inside the building (it’s technically impossible due to the music of the show), we’ll stay outside, so we’ll have a good overall view to understand the different techniques used to build this reinforced concrete monster.
