HISTORIC PRESERVATION at Port of the Moon.
The designation covers the historic urban core of Bordeaux along the Garonne's crescent bend, including its eighteenth century stone facades, the Place de la Bourse, classical quays, and surviving medieval monuments, largely as intact original fabric within a living city. The area is a World Heritage Site, with individual buildings owned variously by the city of Bordeaux, the state, and private owners. It remains a freely accessible, inhabited part of the city.
About Port of the Moon
Bordeaux grew as a port along the crescent-shaped bend of the Garonne River known as the Port of the Moon, serving as a harbor since the city's founding as the Roman settlement of Burdigala. Under English rule during the medieval period, the port became the principal outlet for the region's wine trade. It anchored Bordeaux's maritime importance.
