Being a UNESCO site, it is well managed and there is a small museum and gift shop. You're provided with a very well done booklet describing important relics and the invitation to climb 157 steps to the bell tower for a view. A wine tasting shop is situated right outside the gate, but not open when we visited. Very tranquil and I highly recommend!

Les travaux se terminèrent en 1784. En 1800, la Préfecture s'installe au sein de l'édifice et en 1834 le lieu accueille la mairie et devient ainsi l'Hôtel de Ville. Si la décoration a été quelque peu changée à travers les siècles, le très bel escalier d'honneur que l'on doit à Bonfin ainsi que les trompe-l'œil des salons de Lacour et Beringazo témoignent de la splendeur du lieu. La mairie propose ses services aux administrés de Bordeaux, ville-centre d'une Communauté urbaine de 27 communes (700 000 habitants). Ses compétences sont multiples et concernent l'état civil, les listes électorales, l'action sociale et la solidarité, l'aménagement urbain, l'éducation (gestion des équipements scolaires), la jeunesse et les sports, l'action culturelle (Opéra, musées, bibliothèques et théâtres), mais aussi l'environnement (Propreté, espaces
