Established as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2007, Bordeaux has always been a dynamic, exciting and cosmopolitan city. Considered second only to Paris in terms of beauty and elegance, this city has for years been a key destination for all who are interested in French culture, lifestyle, food and of course, wine.
Located in the heart of a legendary winegrowing region, the vibrant, rich and sophisticated city of Bordeaux is a top gourmet and cultural destination. It has been rendered even more splendid with its recent makeover, giving it the perfect mix of modern and traditional, with that electric vibe that only port cities have. Bordeaux is an ideal base for exploring nearby wine regions such as Medoc, St. Emilion, Pessac-Leognan and Sauternes. The coast of the Atlantic is just a 45-minute drive away, where you can visit Arcachon Bay to sample its famous seafood and oysters, as well as the beautiful beaches, lush pine forests, and the biggest sand dune in Europe.
Bordeaux is a city that will conquer your heart with grace and elegance. Enjoy the monumental stone architecture that feels like a smaller version of Paris, and breathe in the true identity of Bordeaux through the unique nooks and crannies. Place de la Bourse is without a doubt one of the most beautiful squares in France, and the riverfront on the Garonne adds a peaceful atmosphere to the city.
