With 350 Unesco listed buildings, Bordeaux holds its own, from the Cité du Vin to the Musée Mer Marine, in the Bassins à flots district where the Bassins de Lumières have also been installed.

In Toulouse, you can put your head in the stars at the Cité de l'Espace or on the Piste des Géants where the fabulous adventure of the Aéropostale pioneers is relived.

Equipped with an aerial roof, like a large white sail 65 m above the pitch, the venerable stadium of Marseille club puts on a show, famously known for its architecture, its acoustics and its legendary atmosphere.
