🇫🇷 Bordeaux, Port of the Moon | A UNESCO Double Crown Jewel 🌙🏛️
In 2007, Bordeaux, Port of the Moon (Bordeaux, Port de la Lune) was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site—a testament to its 18th-century architectural harmonyas a "living harbor city." Remarkably, its Saint-André Cathedral had already earned UNESCO status in 1998, making this the only French city with dual cultural listings! 🌙 Port of the Moon Why UNESCO?: 3km crescent-shaped quays🌊 tracing the Garonne River Neoclassical façades🏛️ (Place de la Bourseas the jewel) Urban plan📐 by Enlightenment-era architects ⛪Cathédrale Saint-André de Bordeaux Gothic Grandeur: Royal Doorway👑 with 300+ biblical carvings Pey-Berland Tower🗼 (separate 15th-century bell tower) UNESCO Nod: Exemplary pilgrimage route🚶 (Santiago de Compostela) #ArchitecturalHarmony #BordeauxMoonPort #Bordeaux #France #WorldHeritage
