Bordeaux is a UNESCO Heritage listed port city that was once part of English ruled Aquitaine. Our interest in medieval history has been ramped up by the highly addictive BBC 'White Queen' series.The city is best known for its wine and we booked ourselves into a tour of the local vineyards. The city also has an extensive tram network that reminded us of home town Melbourne; and the buildings follow a uniform architectural style as a result of large-scale building project overseen by Emperor Napoleon III in the 18th century.
