A little history
In days gone by, the Saint-Michel district was home to craftsmen. They unloaded the flat-bottomed barges at anchor from the departments upstream on the Garonne, which supplied Bordeaux with goods (such as salt) and building materials. To build the Basilica, we needed wood (for the framework), which came from the Quercy region, and iron for the coopers, gunsmiths, wrought-iron workers and all the rest! From this hard-working yet joyful era, the outspokenness of the sailors and the rhythm of the builders' work have left their mark. Today, the Saint-Michel district is a popular and dynamic neighborhood, inhabited by a thousand cultures and origins. Around the main square, you can sit on one of the many terraces to sunbathe or read a book, while enjoying the lively open-air Capucins market held daily on the Place des Capucins from 6am to 1pm. In Saint-Michel, there's also the Marché Neuf, held on Monday mornings on Place Canteloup and Place Meynard.
You'll be amazed by the 2 sublime buildings that stand on this immense square. First, there's the magnificent Basilica, built in the flamboyant Gothic style between the 14th and 16th centuries. Here you are in the heart of one of the city's liveliest and most colorful spots! Look up and admire the astonishing freestanding bell tower, just a few metres away. Impossible to miss, it's one of the tallest bell towers in France, its spire rising to 114m! If you're not afraid of heights and you've got good legs, it's possible to take a self-guided tour from March to October every day, without an appointment, for just €5. The view over Bordeaux is breathtaking!
