B&B Bordeaux

Bordeaux, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is packed with historical monuments and hidden gems waiting to be uncovered. Your stay in a B&B Bordeaux can be tailored to several beautiful neighbourhoods, each with unique charm. Fancy booking a B&B in the Saint-Pierre district? It's one of the city's oldest neighbourhoods and will put you close to the 35-meter-tall Porte Cailhau, an ancient gateway to the inner harbour. Take a leisurely stroll to the Place de la Bourse and snap photos of the lively water mirror. If you're a fan of green spaces, the Caudéran district is your go-to spot, often regarded as Bordeaux's green lung. You'll find plenty of lush spaces here, including the Parc Bordelais. Other districts worth considering are the Bassins à flot area, home to the Cité des Vins, and the Bastide district on the right bank, home to the Espace Darwin situated in the former Niel barracks.

From your chambre d'hôtes in Bordeaux, head for the Cité du Vin. This vast museum, housed in an architecturally stunning building, traces the story of this famous tipple across the four corners of the globe. A sensory journey takes you on a unique journey all about wine. At the Bassins des lumières, the world's largest digital art centre, experience spectacular and original immersive exhibitions. Floor-to-ceiling video projections in an unusual venue will plunge you into the heart of the greatest painting masters, such as Dali, Klimt and Chagall. Stroll through the old town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and visit the Place de la Bourse, an 18th-century architectural masterpiece enhanced by the spectacular water mirror.

You're bound to fall under the spell of Bordeaux's dazzling classical and neoclassical architecture, with more than 350 listed buildings. The Bordeaux region is one of France's most prestigious vineyards, home to some of the world's most famous appellations. Stop off at Saint-Emilion, a medieval town with a glorious name, an exceptional heritage and a prize-winning wine. Take the legendary D2 road: it winds its way through the Médoc's greatest appellations. And if you want to stay in town for your wine tasting, head to a wine bar or your favourite wine shop, where you'll be spoilt for choice.

When it comes to gastronomy in Bordeaux, there's something for everyone: the open-air 'guinguette' atmosphere on the banks of the Garonne, a chic dinner on a restaurant boat, the joyful terraces on the Chartrons market square or luxurious Michelin-starred gourmet restaurants. Of course, when you're in Bordeaux, don't forget to try the famous cannelé, a speciality flavoured with rum and vanilla that has become the city's emblem.
