Itinerary
One of the most prestigious wine estates in the world, Château Margaux is a Premier Grand Cru Classé from 1855. Its neoclassical architecture and iconic tree-lined driveway make it a must-see, even from the outside. It’s a perfect place for scenic photos and a glimpse into Bordeaux’s elite wine heritage.
Known for its fairytale turrets and perfect symmetry reflected in a still water basin, Château Pichon Baron is a Second Growth estate with striking visual appeal. The grounds and facade are among the most photographed in the Médoc.
Nicknamed the “Versailles of the Médoc,” this elegant 17th-century château stands out with its classical architecture and riverside setting. A short exterior stop here offers yet another view of the Left Bank’s unique château atmosphere.

About Bordeaux
Bordeaux, on the Garonne in south-west France, is a stone-fronted port city and the centre of one of the world's great wine regions.
The pale limestone façades of the eighteenth century give Bordeaux an elegant, even look, and the curve of the Garonne, the Port of the Moon, is part of its UNESCO listing. Place de la Bourse faces the river, and the Miroir d'eau, a shallow reflecting pool, mirrors it. The Grand Théâtre, Saint-André Cathedral with its separate Pey-Berland tower, and the long pedestrian Rue Sainte-Catherine make up the centre.
Top-ranked sights in Bordeaux: Place de la Bourse (Place Royale), Porte Cailhau, Grosse Cloche.
