Practice your best santé - you'll be raising your glass a lot in Bordeaux, home to one of France's seven key wine regions and known for its award-winning big reds. Tour the chateaux, imbibe the world-class wines and indulge in the regional cuisine, but remember that Bordeaux offers much more.
The city has excellent museums, lively nightlife and beaches close by. Wide avenues, neoclassical architecture and well-tended parks all give the city a certain 18th-century grandeur.
Suggested Itineraries in Bordeaux
Wine tasting is the main event in these parts, but there is plenty of other stuff happening throughout the year, from art exhibitions to music performances, to entertain you while quaffing.
The key event is, as you would expect, the Fête du Vin (Wine Festival). It takes place in late June and early July and is an excellent opportunity to get to know the region's famous red stuff. Wine-making exhibitions, wine tasting, traditional music and dance performances, local cuisine and much more keep the wine flowing while introducing you to the best of Bordeaux culture.
