LOCATIONS

from the Bordeaux, France Episode


DOWNTOWN BORDEAUX

The great thing about the city of Bordeaux is that it acts as a central hub for the wine region. The trains go in and out of the city, there are plenty of hotels and restaurants and things to do, and there are literally wineries in every direction!

BORDEAUX SUR L'EAU

I can't recommend booking a Bordeaux boat tour with Bordeaux Sur L'Eau enough! Seeing Bordeaux from the water is an amazing experience, and they do a great job providing food, wine, and music. Once the lights go down, the city skyline and bridges are magical to see from the water!
