Why visit Bordeaux?
The earthy spirit of Bordeaux has travelled across the world in the flavours captured and bottled in its celebrated wines, but to really understand Bordeaux’s enchanting personality, you must fly there. When you come to this city you must stroll down its wide, leafy avenues, sip strong coffee in its lovely squares, tour its wonderful museums, and relax in its manicured gardens to get to know its particular personality. However, it is in the rolling, sunlit vineyards that surround this city where you will find Bordeaux’s soul, and once you do, you may find yourself cancelling that return journey.
Things to do in Bordeaux
Like any European city, the centre is built around a Cathedral, and Bordeaux’s Cathédrale Saint Andréis one of the most beautiful in Europe. Standing since the 12th century and listed as a UNESCO Heritage Site, this is one of the city’s most impressive sites, and worth scheduling into your itinerary.
Then there are several highlights in the older part of town, from the elegant neoclassical Place de la Bourse, the Hotel de Ville (City Hall), to the opulent Grand Theatre where you can catch a show. Nearby, you’ll find the Esplanade des Quinconces, a huge square with a stunning fountain in its centre.
Just outside the city is where you will find the rolling, dappled vineyards of France. Touring the countryside is a must, you will be able to see the gorgeous sunlit fields, the impressive chateaux, and go on wine tastings in the many wineries that populate the hills and valleys of Bordeaux.
