Maison Ecocitoyenne Bordeaux Métropole

On Monday 23 November 2026 at 10:30 Bordeaux Patrimoine Mondial and CLEM Patrimoine lead a guided walk called Bordeaux passé-présent : voyage dans le port de la Lune, starting at the Maison Ecocitoyenne Bordeaux Métropole on the quai de Richelieu in Bordeaux. The route follows the quays between the Pont de pierre and the Chartrons, a small journey through time and space along the river. The listing notes that the Garonne has inspired many artists, and that drawings, paintings, engravings and photographs of port activity and the riverbanks are remarkable historical records. Using old stereoscopic photographs from the CLEM collection, which can be seen in relief, the Bordeaux of the past comes back to life and is set beside today's urban landscape. The walk is part of the second international meetings on stereoscopic photography. It is free, with a contact email given for registration, and it runs from 10:30 to 12:00.

En Sicile, with Jeanne Balibar, at the tnba, Bordeaux

tnba - Théâtre national de Bordeaux Aquitaine

On Wednesday 9 December 2026 at 19:30 the Théâtre national de Bordeaux Aquitaine hosts En Sicile, a performance with Jeanne Balibar. The listing says that after the three female destinies of Les Historiennes, she follows the author Juliette Blamont in a drift through the landscape, attentive to everything around her. It calls it an inhabited story, melted into the colours of a Sicilian spring afternoon: the author walks the hills guided by the goat Miss Coco, in a thick world of stones, clover and sun, where the old Signora Rosa waits for her. The story of the goat that came from nowhere and the woman from the depths of time is described as an idyll that renews a world of attention to living things, without ignoring concrete, tourist houses and ravaging fires. The full price is 30 euros, with reduced rates from 8 euros. The listing gives 21:20 as the end. A single voice on a stage is easy to join alone. «Le récit de la chèvre surgie de nulle part et la femme venue du fond du temps.» Starts 19:30, ends about 21:20.
