Must see architecture in Bordeaux?

euvolemic

I am going to visit Bordeaux and know very little about the city. Any must see buildings, places, or events?

A few months back Dwell did a little city-piece on Bordeaux, if I recall correctly. When I went, I found it somewhat dull but then looking through that Dwell piece realized what I had missed. If you check out their archives you will probably find it -- good little piece.

If you want something very "trendy", check out the Hotel Seeko'o by King Kong...

Hotel St. James by Jean Nouvel is in a small town just outside the city.
