Beneath the solemn spires of Saint-André Cathedral, Bordeaux has witnessed both coronations and conspiracies—moments that have reshaped the very heart of France.

This self-guided audio tour invites you on a winding adventure through the Hôtel de Ville-Quinconces district, where every street corner hides stories you won’t find in the guidebooks. Find the secret pulse of the city as hidden histories come alive between landmarks old and new.

What scandal erupted behind the stony walls of Fort du Hâ that once sent shockwaves through the city? Why did a single night in Place Gambetta turn the balance of power on its head? Which unlikely event during a forgotten Bordeaux festival changed the fate of an entire neighborhood?

Move along cobbled lanes through revolutions, betrayals, secret societies, and royal intrigue. Each step unlocks suspense, awe, and glimpses of a Bordeaux you never imagined.
