Bordeaux Episode 03 Roman and Medieval Bordeaux

This episode 'visits' the Bordeaux of two important past eras: the Roman and the medieval.  A little history, plus lots of ideas for places to visit today: the remains of a Roman amphitheatre, turretted towers and the churches which became stopping points on the pilgrims' route to Santiago de Compostela.  Plus, of course, the story of Eleanor of Aquitaine.  Reading Suggestions Eleanor of Aquitaine by Alison Weir The Summer Queen by Elizabeth Chadwick Links for this post The Musée d’Aquitaine The Palais Galien The Grosse Cloche The Porte Cailhau Saint Seurin Church Saint André Cathedral Saint Michel Church   City Breaks: all the history and culture you'd research for yourself if you had the time!
