The exhibition 'La Route du Baroque' is currently on at the Grand Théatre (13 July to 2 September 2012), and it's worth getting a ticket just to be able to wander around the beautiful interior and see the auditorium at your leisure.
Have lunch or afternoon tea in the elegant Café Opera (photo above) inside or on the arcaded terrace.

For me it was lunch at something a little more casual.

Fun and games at Maurice Verdeun.
This shop is a young and old boy's paradise, full of model cars in every size and make, as well as model trains, planes and boats and every other toy in between. Situated in the Gallerie Bordelaise.

This is a city known for its architectural beauty and peaceful and shaded squares, making it a perfect city to visit on foot. However there is also a great tramway system to help move you from place to place if your travel weary feet need a break.
I hope all of you get to spend at least one day in this most beautiful of cities, Bordeaux.
