Galerie Bordelaise, a photo from Aquitaine, West

Photographer's Note

Last in a series of pictures taken in Bordeaux on a Saturday afternoon in June.

Galerie Bordelaise is a shopping gallery located in the heart of Bordeaux near the Grand Theatre. It is, along with the passage Sarget, one of two covered passages in the city. Very popular during the first half of the 19th century, these provincial galleries rivalled in elegance the Parisian galleries.

Its construction was begun in 1833 under the direction of the architect Gabriel-Joseph Durand (1792-1858) and was opened to the public on April 1, 1834. It was listed as a historical monument in 1975.

After having fallen into disrepair, restoration works were started September 2015. The total cost of the works is estimated at 3 million euros.

Hi Stephen

I like the 3 concentric arches fitting inside each other a bit like Russian dolls. A nice reflection in the shiny floor. Good sharpness and framing. Tfs!

Hello Stephen,
It's a very nice and tasteful interior in this cathedral of shopping. You managed the light well and the people animate the view.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hi Stephen,

The presence of the people is animating the scene. The length of the gallery is creating depth. The point of view is showing the details of the interior of the gallery. Have a nice day.

Hello Stephen,

You have captured some very engaging details of this gallery with great clarity.
Of course, the ambience of the scene attracts greatly, carefree and leisurely, certainly not like many shopping experiences!

I like how the m/g arch is repeated, deeper into the shot, and reveals how the sunlight is brightening the interior buy the change of hues.
You have obtained an excellent sense of depth and perspective.

Have a great w/e,
Bev :-)
Sun in back today and its pleasantly warm. We are keeping our fingers crossed for a good day tomorrow as it's the local agricultural show. Sadly the forecast isn't that good!

Salut Stephen,
Une galerie à la belle architecture même si elle n'est pas aussi imposante que les galeries italiennes ou parisiennes. C'est bien cadré avec cette perspective qui donne de la profondeur à l'image, bonne gestion de l'exposition.

Hi Stephen
The building is very grand and has a 50's feel to it! I like the symmetry to it with many people there I think they work really well to compliment the image. Nice capture, Congrats
Best regards

Ciao Stephen
molto bella questa antica galleria ed è bello vedere come sia frequentata, i tavolini invitano a sedersi e a godersi il viavai delle persone.
Saluti

Hi Stephen,
For some reason when I see the word Bordelaise I think about the Polish word burdel which translates into English brothel...

Very elegant passage with quite attractive architecture. There is a lot of light passing through, People add some life and interest to the scene.
Very interesting reportage!

Hello Stephen,
Though I can see that it needs some TLC, it is still a beautiful structure. That, and the abundance of arches send this one to my Best of Arches theme. 👍👍
