The Triangle d’Or is the most refined and elegant part of Bordeaux, which is ideal for those looking to luxuriate in the city and do a little (or a lot of) shopping.
Saint Pierre and Saint Paul are the city’s central historic districts, and although they are also slightly pricier than other areas, Bordeaux’s main attractions are right at your feet.
Being just outside of the city centre, Les Chartrons is a perfect for families who want to be able to explore the city easily, but from a quieter and more localised perspective.
Saint Michel is ideal for younger crowds, as it’s known as Bordeaux’s trendy and affordable urban neighbourhood. The city’s famous cathedral and rambling river are on its doorstep, and the nearby train station provides easy access to the entire city.
For your fill of culture, stay in the up-and-coming Bassins Ă Flots, which is said to represent the modern age of Bordeaux. The futuristic neighbourhood frequently holds exciting cultural music performances and other cultural events.
Of course, Bordeaux extends far beyond the city centre to the quiet and tranquil vineyards that surround it. With grand chateaus to tiny cottages dotted along its hillsides, wherever you stay will come with breath-taking rural French scenery.
