    Where to stay in 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.

    Bordeaux gastronomy

    When to visit Bordeaux?

    During July and August, you're sure to have plenty of sunshine to take your best photos of the water mirror at Place de la Bourse or the superb atmosphere on the quays of the Garonne. On the other hand, if you don't like crowds, this is not the best time to visit Bordeaux in peace, as the city is inundated with tourists. The best time to visit is in September when temperatures are pleasant, and you'll have the impression of being immersed in real Bordeaux life. From October to June, it's certainly not cold: rarely below 5 degrees, but expect rain and lots of it... so don't forget your umbrella!
