The new immersive experience at Bassins des Lumières showcases the splendour and abundance of marine life.
An exploration of this extraordinary ecosystem, marine life comes to life on the immense walls and in the reflections of the Bassins: vibrant reef fish, sea turtles, imposing orcas, sharks, mischievous dolphins and even polar seals. It is a large-scale sensory and poetic adventure that will delight the whole family
Stunning paintings illustrate the variety of shapes and colours of marine fauna and flora, featuring seahorses, luminous jellyfish and penguins gliding across the ice. However, beyond the wonder, the exhibition also encourages reflection on the vulnerability of the oceans and the consequences of human activity on these unique, indispensable but endangered ecosystems.
The experience, presented as a film production, combines spectacular images with an immersive soundtrack. Authentic ocean sounds are combined with iconic compositions, intensifying the emotional impact of the scenes: a massive octopus appears to the sound of the Goldfinger theme, while luminescent jellyfish move in sync with the melody. Built over a year of work, this unique work on display at Bassins des Lumières brings together more than 800 video clips and showcases more than 100 marine species, designed to adapt to the vast projection surfaces to offer a complete immersion.
Hop on and off the double-decker bus to explore the city, then stop at stop no. 10, ‘Base sous-marine’, located just a few minutes’ walk away!

Bordeaux is rich in history and heritage with its 350 UNESCO listed buildings. Each one more unusual than the next, don’t miss out on discovering them.
We have put together a list of the most important places in the Port de la Lune to visit…
The spring flea market in Bordeaux takes place at Place des Quinconces from April 24 to May 10, 2026, confirming its status as a major event in the local calendar. Organized twice a year for several decades, this event structures both the cultural and commercial landscape around antiques and second-hand goods.
The exhibition *Circasciences en piste*, organised by Cap Sciences, is part of an initiative to bring advanced science to the general public through the lens of the circus arts. The exhibition design features a series of interactive installations that allow visitors to analyse the physical mechanisms employed by performers during their acts. This educational approach transforms a fun experience into a genuine scientific laboratory accessible to the general public.
Located on the quays of Bordeaux, right next to the Cité du Vin, this exhibition benefits from a strategic position within a well-established tourist ecosystem. This location makes it easy to incorporate into a wider urban discovery itinerary, particularly through organised tours.
The Cité du Vin is hosting the exhibition Around the World in 50 Wine Regions, a visual journey dedicated to the diversity of international wine-growing regions. This programme showcases a selection of photographs from partner regions, each of which has chosen an iconic image to embody its landscape, people or heritage.
The curatorial approach is based on a cross-sectional interpretation of the vineyards, without geographical hierarchy or strict technical classification. The photographs interact with each other through three major themes:
