Find the right area for your travel style
Vieux Bordeaux & Saint-Pierre
The UNESCO core: 18th-century limestone facades, the Place de la Bourse and its reflecting pool, medieval Saint-Pierre streets, and the cathedral square that has been the civic heart of Bordeaux for nine centuries.
Chartrons
The former wine merchants' quarter: antique shops and galleries in converted cellars, the best Sunday market in Bordeaux on the quayside, serious wine bars, and a neighbourhood that feels genuinely local.
Saint-Michel & Capucins
The multicultural counterweight to the polished old town: the Marche des Capucins (the city's main food market), the Basilique Saint-Michel, and a neighbourhood that has been working-class, diverse, and itself for a very long time.
La Cite du Vin & Bassins a Flot
The former industrial docks being reinvented: La Cite du Vin and its panoramic bar, the submarine bunker turned arts space, new restaurants, and the contemporary Bordeaux that exists alongside the UNESCO old town.
