One of our favorite sites in the city, Port Cailhau has been impressing visitors to Bordeaux for over 500 years. It has been almost unaltered from the time it was built in 1494. Now one of the most photographed places to visit in Bordeaux, Port Cailhau was both celebratory and defensive. It was an arc of triumph dedicated to King Charles VIII comme...
At 31 acres, Place des Quinconces is the largest city square in France and one of the largest in Europe. It’s often the home of outdoor concerts, festivals, and fairs, as we found during our visit when the twice-annual antique and flea market Brocante des Quinconces was on. Laid out in 1820 on the site of Chateau Trompette, a castle-fortress that o...
We’ve become huge fans of food halls and markets in places like Copenhagen and Ghent, so our hopes were high during our Bordeaux trip. Les Halles de Bacalan lived up to our expectations in every way. This modern food hall on Quai de Bacalan houses over 20 different merchants including butchers, seafood sellers, cheesemongers, a wine specialist, and...
The Miroir d’Eauis one of the most popular Bordeaux attractions. Locals and tourists splash in its pool and relax on the banks of the river, picnicking, listening to music, and otherwise enjoying the ambiance. Even if you only have one day in Bordeaux, it should be at the top of your list. The Miroir d’Eau first opened in 2006 as a public art insta...
Not far from Les Halles de Bacalan, Moon Harbour Distillery offers tours and tastings at its unique facility, a former German World War II submarine bunker. Too massive to destroy after the war, the unused bunker has been an eyesore for over 70 years in a newly developing part of the city. The distillery has changed all that, and a visit here is a ...
The Basilica of Saint Michaelis impossible to miss because you can see its famous bell tower piercing the sky from just about anywhere in the city. The Basilica itself was built from the late 14th century through the 16th century. The interior of the Gothic church is worth a visit for its pulpit that shows St. Michael slaying the dragon and its 17 ...
If shopping is your thing, Rue Sainte-Catherine is the place to go. At 3/4 of a mile long, it’s the longest pedestrian shopping street in Europe. Rue Sainte-Catherine has over 250 stores—including high-end options, French brands, and bargain stores—along with cafés and restaurants. Even if you’re not shopping, it’s a nice place to relax in a café a...
La Cité du Vin (“The City of Wine,” in English) is Bordeaux’s love letter to wine. It’s fitting that one of the best wine regions in the world is home to one of the best museums in the world—not just wine museums, but museums, period. La Cité du Vin is completely interactive. You simply wave your audio guide in front of a panel, and you’re transpor...
Without fail, every time we told a local we were planning to visit Arcachon, they let out a happy sigh followed by a big smile and, “you’ll love Arcachon…and you mustvisit the dune!” They were right. About an hour from Bordeaux on the Atlantic Ocean is the paradise of Arcachon. This beach city with golden sand and clear water is made for swimming, ...
We love visiting markets when we travel because they give us a chance to interact with locals and because of the ambiance—people are almost always happy when they’re shopping and eating good things. In Bordeaux, you can have this experience almost every day of the year. Markets around the cityfeature food, flowers, clothing, crafts, and books year-...

- Place de la Bourse. Bordeaux broke free of its old town walls when this majestic square on the left bank of the Garonne was built in the 1720s. Louis XV’s favourite architect, Jacques Gabriel, designed it, and the square didn’t take long to become a symbol for the city.
- Quais de Bordeaux. The left bank of the Garonne is hands-down one of the world’s most splendid waterfronts. It’s also part of that 18th-century World Heritage ensemble, where the majestic facades of grand neo-classical buildings line a riverside promenade 80 metres wide.
- La Cité du Vin. This ultra-modern cultural centre is a celebration of all things wine, and is one of those ambitious and futuristic projects that is hard to sum up in a few sentences.
- Bordeaux Wine. Something else you can do at La Cité du Vin is pick up helpful information on where to continue your wine adventure, because the choice can be dizzying: You’re in the world’s wine capital, and the second-largest wine growing region on the planet.
