A Glassful of Bordeaux: Biography of a City

Aquitaine Soirée: from Lascaux to Bordeaux (5/5)
Thursday, February 25th at 5 PM Eastern Time

Today we will dip into France’s great southwestern port city. With its grand façades and majestic river-front, this laid-back city oozes wealth and charm, but we’ll see how the slave trade, as well as wine, played a major role in the city’s evolution. We’ll take a peek at charming squares, fountains, churches and museums to get a taste of this fascinating multi-faceted city.

Virtual Soirée presentation procedure:

Dana and our guide will arrive at the meeting 10 minutes in advance for those of you who would like to say hello and make sure your zoom settings are ready. The presentation will start promptly at the scheduled hour, and Dana will begin the meeting by muting the microphones and introducing our speaker. The talk will be recorded.  The lecture will last about 45 minutes and afterward Dana will moderate a Q&A session. If you show up late, no worries, you will be muted upon entry.

After the tour, you will receive a follow-up email with a recording of the event. You will be able to access this recording until March 31st, 2021.
