Port of the Moon, Historical port district in Bordeaux, France.
The Port de la Lune stretches along a curved section of the Garonne River, forming a natural crescent shape that spans through central Bordeaux.
The port became a major international maritime hub during the 18th century, facilitating wine trade and establishing Bordeaux as a leading commercial center.
The 1800-hectare port area received UNESCO World Heritage status in 2007 for its exceptional classical and neoclassical architectural ensemble from the 18th century.
Visitors can explore the port area through guided walking tours that start at Place de la Bourse and continue along the restored riverfront promenades.
The port's crescent shape appears on Bordeaux's coat of arms and municipal logo, represented by three interlinked crescents symbolizing the lunar connection.
