Birthplace of some of the world’s favourite wines, Bordeaux is located in the southwest of France. This port city stands on the Garonne River and is home to just over 250,000 people. Blessed with a pretty good climate, Bordeaux generally sees mild winters and warm, sunny summers. As mentioned above, the area is famous for its wines and as a result no visit to Bordeaux is complete without a trip to one (or more) of the multitudes of local vineyards. In the main part of the city, you’ll find an abundance of stunning 18th century architecture, while some of Bordeaux’s main attractions are the Saint-André Cathedral, the Sainte-Croix Church, the Musée D’Histoire Naturelle, the Musée de Beaux Arts and the Botanic Gardens. If you’re looking to spend some cash, head to the Rue Sainte-Catherine, a pedestrianised street lined with store after store. Food and drink won’t be a problem here, with lots of restaurants, cafés, bars and clubs to try out.

fivestarbekah6670 says: “ I loved Bordeaux. Really cheap wine that was decent, great inner city shopping area that had a lot of culture and minimal traffic. A great place to go and just chill for a while. Just be careful to make sure you know what you are ordering on menus or you can end up with very interesting food.
