The palace of l'Ombrière no longer stands: it once served as a medieval residence for the dukes of Aquitaine in the heart of Bordeaux, later becoming the seat of the city's Parliament. It vanished in the year 1800, so visiting the site today is more about historical imagination than seeing an actual structure. It can still be of interest to anyone curious about Bordeaux's urban past and its lost landmarks.
