Church of Saint-Pierre

St. Peter's Church was built in the 14th and 15th centuries on the north wall of the old passage channel, on the site of the former Gallo-Roman port. Reshaped in the 19th century, it has kept the original flamboyant gothic portal, the south door and the choir. The church of Saint Pierre benefits from a prime location, since it is situated in the heart of the eponymous district, in Old Bordeaux, a district rich in history. Its interior is more spectacular than its massive exterior.

Church of Saint-Paul-Saint-François-Xavier

With its length of 45 meters and its width of almost 19 meters, the church is one of the largest buildings built in France by the Jesuits. Its design and style are in keeping with the Baroque architectural movement. The interior impresses with its harmonious proportions, architectural sobriety and decorative richness. Classified as a Historic Monument in September 1997, it was endowed in 2006 with a chandelier created by the Bordeaux artist Jean-François Buisson.

Church of Saint-Eloi

Restored for nearly twenty years by the association of the Institute of the Good Shepherd in Bordeaux, which has occupied the premises since 2002, this church, of which only the facade is visible on the street, has a colourful decor and a warm and pious atmosphere, rendered in particular by the stained glass windows of the choir. It also benefits from a choice location, as it is in the middle of a historic district of Bordeaux.
