There's less kids playing in the water and the lights on the Bourse make a great reflection on the water. Also, there's mist and the water drains or rises periodically.

Also, the reflection is not as prominent. Definitely come at night!

At first I thought they were spoiling it slightly and then I joined them and changed my mind pretty quickly. Huge, impressive, massive water fountain with crazy statues all around it. Looks like it has been about for a long long time and you really should not visit Bordeaux without checking it out. 5 stars.

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!

It is absolutely stunning.
