Travel near Bordeaux

Bordeaux is the undisputed jewel of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. Its historic centre, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is enough to make the capital of Gironde one of France's most beautiful and charming showcases. But a holiday in Bordeaux is not limited to the city itself, as the surrounding area displays an array of cultural and natural treasures longing to be discovered during a weekend getaway between land and sea. Part of the pride of French oenology, the Bordeaux region includes some of the most iconic appellations of the South West of the country. From Pauillac to Blaye, from the Médoc to the Entre-Deux-Mers, we invite you to enjoy your stay near Bordeaux and take time off to discover some of the region's most beautiful vineyards. After soaking up the charms of the Gironde countryside, venture to the coast where you'll find the impressive Dune du Pilat and the bay of Arcachon, framed by sandy beaches and Belle Époque villas. Take a pinnace to Bird Island, l’Île aux Oiseaux, a natural oasis home to many species of terns, curlews and redshanks, guarded by the traditional wooden cabins on stilts known as cabanes tchanquées.
