On the territory of Bordeaux there is a unique fountain, perhaps even the most original one in the entire world. It is called Le Miroir d'eau. The peculiarity of this fountain is that it is visible only from a certain angle. The fact is that the whole surface is covered with water and it becomes perfectly mirror-like, which makes the architectural ensemble (Place de la Bourse) look amazing. The fountain has long ago become a hallmark of Bordeaux, all thanks to the genius of an architect who created it, Michel Corajoud. The Place de la Bourse building, in front of which is situated a fountain, was built in the year 1755 in the classicism style. Taking a walk around the square next to the building will bring nothing short of pleasure.
From an architectural point of view, the Grand Théâtre is remarkable for its architectural style which is extremely outstanding. Built in the 18th century in the classical style, this theatre is famous for its richly decorated facade. The square in front of the building also deserves special praise – it is a very pleasant place for a walk. There is a modern sculpture in the form of a woman’s head on the square, which is remarkable because it is interesting to look at from any angle. Grosse Cloche de Bordeaux, on the other hand, immerses everyone in the atmosphere of the Middle Ages. The ancient gates were built at the end of the 15th century, but the landmark of the building — namely the bell — came to be only at the end of the 18th century. A clock appeared along with the bell, so the tower acquired a “peaceful” incarnation.
