The square is composed of an esplanade descending gently towards the Garonne and surrounded by planted walks. There are the monumental statues of Montaigne and Montesquieu by sculptor Dominique Fortuné Maggesi in white marble, which were placed there in 1858.
The Aquitaine Bridge is a suspension bridge located on the Bordeaux ring road, in the Gironde department and the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. It connects the towns of Lormont and Bordeaux over the Garonne. The bridge was completed in 1967 and has a span of 394 m for a length of 1,767 m. It is the last bridge over the Garonne before its estuary, the Gironde, and the Atlantic Ocean.
The original gate was located in the 14th century rampart. It was replaced by the current monument, built closer to the Garonne.

It was a good late afternoon trip with a guide that was fluent in both French and English. He was knowledgable about the city and skilfully used humour to keep attention.
Nice cruise, but a bit long. 1 canelé upon boarding and 1 drink of your choice to be picked up at the bar.
We had a wonderful and educational tasting. Antoine our host was wonderful! We learned about the region and local food.
The staff try really hard and are all very good at what they do but there just isn’t enough waterfront in Bordeaux to justify a 90 minute boat cruise. Once past the city which doesn’t take long there’s not a great deal to see or look at.
I initially booked this cruise for my first day in Bordeaux. However, after an early start and morning flight, I was feeling very tired, so I contacted the team to ask if it would be possible to change the date and time. They were incredibly kind and accommodating, and happily rearranged my booking. When I came back on the new date, I needed to use the bathroom on board, and I have to say it was the cleanest, most spacious and best-maintained boat toilet I have ever used. It might seem like a small detail, but it really reflected how well the boat is looked after. I also really appreciated how the crew went around to every guest individually to check that everything was okay and to ask if anyone had any questions. That personal touch made the experience feel welcoming and showed that they genuinely cared about their guests. Overall, it was a fantastic experience with excellent customer service from start to finish. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Bordeaux.
Great 1.5 hours spent on the river. Very informative and worthwhile. Plenty of sunshine on the roof top or air conditioning downstairs
The French commentary was so loud, it was impossible to listen to the English commentary provided on an App.
Great and informative tour off the river in bordeaux. I learned a lot of history. Also loved that it came with warm canales and a glass of wine! The tour operator was great and the boat driver was great too. You could also purchase more drinks if you wanted. There was seating upstairs (part of it shaded) and downstairs seating with AC as well. People loved around a lot so we were able to get lots of vantage points. Highly recommend
You are told to arrive 30 minutes early to embark which most guests did In the blistering heat to board really 10 minutes before No shade offered. Not good The trip itself a bit underwhelming although we had a very good host robin who kept the energy going in the blistering heat Just think you need to treat guests better at the outset
Very good welcome from the crew with lovely smiles, the guided tour was pleasant and complete, definitely worth doing again.
