Résumé

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.
