Port of the Moon

Local namePort de la Lune
LocationBordeaux, France

Originally Port de la Lune is the name given to the harbour of Bordeaux since the Middle Ages, because of the shape of the river crossing the city. On the blazon of Bordeaux, a crescent represents it.

The appellation "Bordeaux, Port de la Lune" also designates, since 2007, the 1,800 ha of the city of Bordeaux listed as UNESCO World Heritage, due to the "exceptional urban and architectural unity and coherence". This "outstanding example of innovative classical and neoclassical trends" is the world-largest urban aera inscribed at UNESCO.

The UNESCO also rewards the municipality for its efforts to restore and embellish quays and facades of the city center.
