Place de la Bourse France Postcard

Place de la Bourse is one of Bordeaux's most iconic and beautiful squares. Located on the Garonne River, it is a stunning example of 18th-century French architecture. The square is framed by two symmetrical buildings, the Palais de la Bourse and the Hôtel des Fermes, which feature elegant facades with wrought-iron balconies and sculptures. In the centre of the square stands the Fontaine des Trois Grâces, added in the 19th century. A key highlight of Place de la Bourse is the Miroir d'Eau (Water Mirror). This unique feature, located just across the quay, is a shallow pool of water that perfectly reflects the stunning architecture of the square and the river, especially during the magic hour at sunset. The 'Water Mirror' alternates between being filled with water to create the reflection and a mist effect that delights visitors. The square is a vibrant hub of activity, with people strolling along the waterfront, enjoying the view, and admiring the harmonious architecture that embodies the city's historical elegance.
