In their book, Visiting Bordeaux, Albert Rèche and Philippe Prévôt bring to life more than two thousand years of urban development in the city of Burdigala founded by a Celtic tribe at the junction of several major roads. The "Golden Age" of pax romana was followed, centuries later, by the prosperity of the Middle Ages and the wine trade. In the 18th century, Bordeaux enjoyed a new period of development through trade with the "islands" which turned the city into the third largest urban community in France. This position of leadership was, however, damaged by the Napoleonic Wars and the major upheavals that accompanied the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century. As you turn the pages, you will discover how the city that is Aquitaine's regional capital developed, a growth described through lively texts and extensive use of photographs.

On retirement, he devoted his time to the history of the city in which he was born and to the everyday life of its people. He is a member of the Académie nationale des sciences, belles-lettres et arts de Bordeaux and, in 1989, he was awarded one of Bordeaux' major literary prizes, the Grand Prix littéraire, for his work. Philippe Prévôt is Heritage Manager with the City of Bordeaux Tourist Office. He has published numerous articles on the history of regional art.
