Basilica of St. Michael and Garonne River, Bordeaux, France
The Basilica of St. Michael or Basilique Saint-Michel is a Flamboyant Gothic church built between the end of 14th century and the 16th century at the heart of the ancient quarter of Saint-Michel and listed in the Inventory of Historic Monuments since 1846, minor basilica since 1903, and world heritage site since 1998. The Garonne rises in the Pyrenees; from the junction with the Canal de Garonne at Castets-en-Dorthe downstream the river forms part of the main waterway route across southern France from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean. At the Pont de Pierre in Bordeaux the river becomes a maritime waterway.
