A Southwestern French Ancient City with a Thousand Ships Passing 🏰

🚢The history of Bordeaux seems to have an inextricable connection with "ships." As a city of art and history in southwestern France, it has been the political center of the region since Roman times, gained vast wealth from modern wine trade, and as the former Duchy of Aquitaine, it has had very close ties with England. 🚢In the last map of Bordeaux from the 3rd century, we can see that there was once a small river perpendicular to the Garonne River, which has now disappeared. The fashionable living area of Charton, along the riverbank, once had a large gathering of wine merchants and ships, transporting countless wine barrels to various parts of the world along the broad Garonne River. 🚢Last weekend, I visited the Marine Museum (Musée Mer Marine) not far from the port. There, I discovered many exquisite ship models and gained a deeper understanding of the city's history over the centuries. I even found a model of the Titanic's wreckage and original newspapers from over a hundred years ago. Standing in front of the hundreds of exquisite ship models in the first picture, I couldn't help but think of the classic line: "Our journey is the sea of stars!" If you long for the ocean and ships, or if you have children at home, I recommend visiting this place on weekends. You can also visit the Bassins des Lumières, a submarine base transformed into a fun attraction nearby! 【Practical Information】 By public transport: A few minutes' walk from Tram B Rue Achard station Admission: Adult tickets are 14€, with some discounted tickets, and children under 6 enter for free (Closed for maintenance from January 8th to 26th, open as usual at other times) Wanted to capture this moment #ThisTemplateHasSomething #France #FrenchAttractions #FrenchLife #Bordeaux #SouthOfFrance
