A guided tour along this beautiful theatre is a must (you can't see the interior on your own). Make a reservation at the Bordeaux tourist office. At the same time make a reservation for the Palais Rohan, Rohan palace, now the townhall (tours there only on wednesday afternoon!).

The theatre is situated near the tourism office and the Quinconces square.
One of the statues on the facade of the theatre.
Grapes, as about everywhere in Bordeaux decoration.
