Place de la Bourse, 18th century square at riverside Bordeaux, France.
The symmetrical square features a central pavilion flanked by two identical buildings, the Palais de la Bourse and Hotel des Fermes, facing the Garonne river.
The construction period extended from 1730 to 1775 under architects Jacques Gabriel and his son Ange-Jacques Gabriel, commissioned by King Louis XV of France.
The Fountain of the Three Graces, installed in 1869, replaced a statue of Louis XV and serves as a central gathering point in the square.
Visitors can access the square from 8 AM to 11 PM daily, with optimal photography conditions during sunset when lights illuminate the classical architecture.
The square connects with the Miroir d'Eau, a water mirror installation that creates perfect reflections of the facade through a thin layer of water.

City of light and stone, Bordeaux tells a piece of French history with every street. From the gilded facades of the 18th century to the redesigned quays along the Garonne, the Gironde capital combines classic elegance with modern dynamism. Strolls can be enjoyed among the columns of the Grand Théâtre, the reflections on the Water Mirror, the streets of Old Bordeaux, and the lively terraces of Saint-Pierre. Here, wine is not just a beverage; it's a culture. The Cité du Vin, museums, and traders remind us that vineyards have shaped the identity of an entire region. Bordeaux is also a forward-looking city, influenced by alternative venues like Darwin, bustling markets, and UNESCO-listed heritage. A city that embodies both tradition and innovation, blending art, cuisine, and river calmness.
Bordeaux offers numerous photography sites from the medieval Porte Cailhau to the modern Cité du Vin. The city features historical gates, stone bridges, public gardens, and architectural landmarks. Photographers can capture the Gothic Basilique Saint-Michel, the neoclassical Grand Théâtre, and the Place de la Bourse with its water mirror. The Darwin Ecosystem presents urban culture venues, while the Quai des Chartrons provides waterfront views.
