The fourteenth episode of the French-language Invisible Bordeaux podcast is now available! This time we are venturing into the Mériadeck district of Bordeaux with the expert guidance and insights of architect Mathias Cisnal, whose extensive benchmark research and findings are available for all to see on his website and on the associated Facebook page.
Together we cover the many chapters in the troubled history of the Mériadeck quarter, its radical transformation from the 1960s onwards, the lack of affection of Bordelais citizens for the new-look neighbourhood, various urban legends that have developed over the years, Mériadeck in the movies and on Youtube, and the best spots to take in the best views of the district!
Here then is the podcast, which you'll also find on miscellaneous platforms including Anchor, Apple Podcasts/iTunes, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Breaker, PocketCasts, RadioPublic, Overcast, Podbean, Podcast Addict and Stitcher. Feel free to hit the subscribe button on the app of your choice! And scroll on down for all the links that will provide further information about Bordeaux's great unloved district!
