Miroir d'eau, Reflecting pool at Place de la Bourse, France.
The Miroir d'eau covers 3,450 square meters of granite slabs with a water depth of two centimeters in front of Place de la Bourse.
The reflecting pool was constructed in 2006 as part of the renovation project of Bordeaux's waterfront, transforming an old underground warehouse into its technical infrastructure.
The pool creates a connection between contemporary design and classical architecture, reflecting the 18th-century Place de la Bourse in its water surface.
The water mirror operates from April to October, alternating between reflective pool and mist effects through 900 water injectors every fifteen minutes.
This water installation uses an 800 cubic meter underground reservoir to generate both mirror and fog effects, reaching heights of two meters.

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.
