Magnificent 3 masted vessel at anchor at Port de la Lune in Bordeaux, France. Port de la Lune is the name given to the port of Bordeaux since the Middle Ages, due to a wide meander in the shape of a crescent, which the Garonne describes when it passes through the city. It is represented by a crescent moon on the city's coat of arms. Today, this part of the river, which is also called the rade de Bordeaux, is mainly used for tourism.
