We started our exploration of Bordeaux by walking through the old streets to Place Des Quinconces, close to the Garonne river, a large square surrounded by trees and containing the Monument aux Girondins.
Next on our itinerary was a visit to the beautiful Jardin Public, a public open space first landscaped in 1755, where the students observed the visitors using the space and made survey notes and drawings of the designed landscape.
After lunch at Place du Parlement we visited Cathédrale Saint-André de Bordeaux and the large designed public space surrounding it. Heading back towards the river through the old town, we explored the shared space along the riverfront including the Miroir d'eau and Les jardins de lumieres.
