The city of wine

Do names like Château Lafite Rothschild, Château Margaux or Château Latour give you a tingle of excitement? Then, you probably like Bordeaux wines! This may be all you need for a long weekend in Bordeaux. The Gironde department, bordering the city, is the largest wine-growing region in France, so it's ideal for a wine tour. You'll be amazed by how close some of the famous châteaux are to each other.

Bordeaux beyond wine

It may be the world capital of wine, but there are many other attractions for a weekend in Bordeaux. Try a visit to the Triangle d'Or district. Its grand boulevards offer a taste of the city's age of enlightenment. Also, check out the Place de la Bourse, the city's main square. This eighteenth-century ensemble is a UNESCO World Heritage site, with the old stock exchange, a beautiful fountain and exquisite riverfront views.

You can also visit the Musée d’Aquitaine to see artefacts from prehistory to the modern era. It's a testament to Bordeaux's rich international trading history. If you like museums, a visit to La Cité du Vin is a must for exhibitions, shows, seminars and more, all about wine! Well, this is Bordeaux, after all.
