Miroir d'eau

The Miroir d'eau (Water Mirror) in Bordeaux is a reflecting pool covering 3,450 square metres (37,100 sq ft).

Located on the quay of the Garonne in front of the Place de la Bourse, it was built in 2006.

[1] In the context of the quays embellishment operation (2000s),[2] it was designed by landscape artist Michel Corajoud.

[3] Then it was built by the fountain-maker Jean-Max Llorca and the architect Pierre Gangnet, who reused a former underground warehouse to set the machinery and reservoir.

[4] The reflecting pool is made of granite slabs covered by 2 cm of water, and a system allows it to create mist every 15 minutes.
