Bordeaux Architecture in Motion: A Beautiful Hyperlapse Tour of the City

Bordeaux is, of course, famous for its wine (and rightly so).  Yet there is more to the French city than fermented grapes – its architecture is simply amazing,  When you considers its long history, this might not be surprising, but its extent leaves many visitors (very pleasantly) surprised.  One visitor last year was Kirill Neiezhmakov, who is famed for his hyperlapse photography and has been featured here many times on Kuriositas.  Before you experience this, note that none of the footage you are about to watch was shot with drones or gimbals (a pivotal support mechanism) which may leave you wondering just how this was made...  You can learn more about this by going to the video on YouTube.

Neiezhmakov catches many of the city’s famous buildings here, from the Place de la Bourse to the Grosse Cloche to the Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux.  Apparently, some buildings were clad in scaffolding during his visit, but the result that we see looks like a gloriously sunny trip to one of France’s most famous cities (it rained, but we don’t see that!).  Bordeaux has always looked great and this video is a perfect showcase for the remarkable and ancient city.
