Wine country is awaiting your visit! As you may already know, Bordeaux is the most famous wine region in the world, specializing in…you guessed it…Bordeaux reds. Bordeaux’s are medium- to full-bodied with bold aromas of black currant, plums and an earthiness. They can be divided into two areas: the Right Bank (Saint-Emilion, Blaye) and those from the Left Bank (Médoc, Graves). Both areas are worth a visit if you are a wine lover! Coming from Paris? Or want to visit Paris during your stay in Bordeaux. The LGV high-speed train will take you to Paris in just two hours.
There are so many incredible things to do and see in Bordeaux. It is definitely a city that is worth a visit. On Sunday morning, shop at Marché des Chartrons, along the river, like the locals do, and be sure to stop by the covered Marché des Capucins (closed Mondays). Saint-Pierre, the ancient center of the city, also known as le Vieux Bordeaux or old Bordeaux, is made up of a network of winding cobblestone streets and lovely squares. The neighborhood frequently serves as a film location, and some of the structures date back to the Middle Ages. Additionally, there are numerous restaurants and bars and a vibrant nightlife here. The Chartrons neighborhood was once a wine-merchants district and is definitely worth a visit. You will feel like you are in a small village within the city.
