Immerse yourself in the Bordeaux of 1492, a bustling, commercial city already full of life.
This guided tour explores the daily life of Bordeauxers in the late Middle Ages, between narrow streets, noisy markets and active harbour, far from major dates and famous figures. Through concrete themes — food, wine, trade, housing and urban planning — discover how the inhabitants lived, worked and moved around the city, while managing its nuisance and promiscuity.
Dynamic and immersive, this tour offers a lively reading of Bordeaux’s heritage and an original look at the city of yesterday. A unique experience to understand Bordeaux otherwise.

We are history nerds, travelling to Bordeaux off season. The guided tour "Bordeaux 1492" was scheduled for the days of our arrival AND departure so it was impossible for us to attend… But after e-mailing with Emmanuel he arranged a private version of the tour for us, on a date that suited us, a custom made mix in French and English = perfect for our needs as a Swedish couple with various French/English skills! And he learned us some bordelaise vocabulary too, lovely! :-D The tour was VERY interesting! As a complement to the sights, Emmanuel also brought with him historical maps and illustrations - super! He enlightened us with details that we definitely would have missed if we hadn't gone on the tour. If we return to Bordeaux, we will definatly book another tour with Vert Bordeaux! Un grand merci de la Suède! ♥
