Église Saint-Pierre
Flamboyant Gothic parish church rising over an old harbor, patron saint of fishermen watching a still-thriving market square.
Église Saint-Pierre in Bordeaux stands on ground that was underwater two thousand years ago, when a Gallo-Roman harbor occupied the same square. The guide follows why this parish took a fisherman, Saint Peter, as its patron, and the flamboyant Gothic church that rose here through the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries in place of an older chapel to him. It traces the sailors and merchants who prayed here before every voyage, and the street names nearby, Argentiers, Bahutiers, that still recall the traders who once worked this harbor square. Stand here on a market morning and you're still standing where their trade once was.
