What to do while in Bordeaux

You'll find a myriad things to do in Bordeaux ­– from viewing prehistoric cave paintings to driving through the scenic hills of vineyards that produce the famous wines of the region. The city is celebrated for its architecture, epitomised by Cathédrale Saint-André. This is a UNESCO World Heritage site on the medieval pilgrimage trail, the Route of Saint James. It's every bit as majestic as Paris's Notre-Dame. Classical music- and theatre-lovers can attend performances at the regal Le Grand Théâtre, built in 1780. Or head to Jardin de la Mairie public park to spend time in nature. Here you'll also find the Museum of Beaux-Arts, the city's main art gallery. To discover the history of the Bordeaux region, visit the Museum of Aquitaine, with exhibits including Gallic coins from 2 BCE. You can explore a retired modern French cruiser, the Croiseur Colbert, or drive out to Grotte de Pair-non-Pair to view some of the oldest cave paintings in the world.

Summer in Bordeaux

Bordeaux in the summer time has endless options from walking in the mountains, exploring vineyards or heading to the coast. Using your Bordeaux car hire, venture to the Atlantic Ocean, in just over an hour you can be at Arcachon Bay with its white sandy beaches and the option to hit the waves or bathe in the shelter of the bay. Of course you could stay within the town, driving your convertible along the banks of the river to the Place de la Bourse, an iconic square built in the mid 1700s.

Winter in Bordeaux

Bordeaux is a good place to visit in winter if you would like to take a ski trip to the Pyrenees. Make sure you have your snow chains and ski rack and let your car hire take you into the mountains – there are ski resorts between three and four hour drives away from Bordeaux. Alternatively you could stay in the city and use your car hire to visit the Bordeaux Wine & Trade Museum or some of the cosy cafes to keep you out of the cold.

Summer in Bordeaux

Bordeaux is a fantastic city that has kept much of its old stylistic beauty. Consider a hire car to see as much of it as possible and to do so in your own time. You might want to see some of the world-famous vineyards around Bordeaux and take in a wine tour, a car would be perfect for this. In the city itself enjoy the warm summer weather and take in sites such as the Quais de Bordeaux, a stunning waterfront filled with neo-classical buildings, grand arches and flower beds, truly a magnificent sight. The older parts of Bordeaux are perfect for getting lost in or for taking in a guided tour, particularly Porte Cailhau and La Grosse Cloche.
