One of the city's most chic districts, the Triangle, located between the alleys of Tourny, Cours de l'Intendance and Cours Georges Clemenceau, embodies the very essence of city life, with transport links and shops close by. Discover the magic of the Place des Grands Hommes, the heart of the district and a must for Bordeaux residents at the end of the day. With its 18-19th century architecture and attractive shops, this square is the perfect place to relax over a drink or a meal.

The Triangle also boasts a host of cultural attractions, including a magnificent cinema housed in an old theatre built in the 19th century, the Trianon Theatre, the Cours Mably, and the Opera on the legendary Place de la Comédie. Temporay exhibitions and cultural events of all kinds (sculptures, paintings, concerts, conferences, ballets, etc.) make this district a real cultural hub in Bordeaux. The top it all off, enjoy a glass of Bordeaux wine on the roof top of the sumptuous hotel opposite the Opera.
