Imagine wandering through Bordeaux’s elegant streets with a professional photographer by your side, ready to turn your visit into a collection of beautiful, personalized images. For $222 per person, you get a 1.5-hour private session designed to suit romantic couples, families, or friends. The meeting point is conveniently located beside the Hermès store, making it easy to find and perfect for capturing the city’s stylish ambiance.
