A.

The old town of Bordeaux (which is second only to Paris in the number of historic monuments it has) is spread out along a curve of the giant Garonne River. In 2007, this part of Bordeaux city became a UNESCO World Heritage Site, under the name Port de la Lune (Port of the Moon), a reference to the crescent shape that the river takes along the city’s banks. The crescent is also on the city’s coat of arms.
