What to see in Bordeaux

Bordeaux, a city synonymous with fine wine and rich history, offers an array of experiences that extend far beyond its famous vineyards.

A cruise to Bordeaux would be incomplete without exploring its world-famous wine region. The surrounding countryside is dotted with prestigious vineyards, each offering a unique insight into the winemaking process. Whether you prefer the robust reds of Médoc, the sweet whites of Sauternes or the diverse offerings of Saint-Émilion, there’s a wine tour to suit every palate. Many châteaux offer guided tours where you can stroll through vineyards, learn about the art of viticulture and sample an array of exquisite wines. For a deeper dive into the world of wine, the Cité du Vin in Bordeaux City is a state-of-the-art museum dedicated to the culture and history of wine, with interactive exhibits and tastings.

Bordeaux's city centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a marvel of 18th-century architecture. Stroll along the Garonne River on the Quai Louis XVIII and take in the stunning Place de la Bourse, with its reflecting pool, Miroir d'eau, creating a mesmerising mirage effect. The Gothic Bordeaux Cathedral, with its imposing bell tower, Pey Berland, offers panoramic views of the city for those willing to climb its stairs. Don't miss the opportunity to see the Grand Théâtre, a neoclassical masterpiece that hosts opera and ballet performances. For a taste of local life, the Marché des Capucins is the largest public market in Bordeaux, where you can savour fresh produce and regional delicacies.

Just an hour’s drive from Bordeaux is the Bay of Arcachon, known for its oyster farms and serene beaches. A must-visit in this area is the Dune du Pilat, the tallest sand dune in Europe. Climbing to the top of this natural wonder offers breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean on one side and a lush pine forest on the other. The bay area also provides opportunities for boating, bird watching and exploring quaint seaside towns. Cap Ferret, with its charming oyster villages and lighthouse, is a perfect spot for a leisurely lunch by the sea.
