Bordeaux, capital of the South-West of France and gourmet destination, is savouring the emergence of these jewels, indispensable to the gastronomic image of the town, with no fewer than seven starred chefs inside its walls and six starred chefs at less than an hour's journey by car. The Tourist Office, proud of this recognition, wanted its gastronomic heritage too to be discovered or rediscovered, alongside its architectural and wine heritage, and has published the brochure, "Bordeaux So Gourmand", honouring its starred chefs.

Born out of a river, the Garonne, Bordeaux has named 2011 "Year of the River".
