Bordeaux
5 things to see
Bordeaux’s UNESCO-listed waterfront and the free Water Mirror reflecting pool are worth the trip alone. The city’s wine culture is accessible even on a budget, with affordable tastings in local bars and free walks through the elegant city center and along the quays. Spring and early autumn bring mild weather and lower room rates than the summer peak, and the surrounding vineyards stay an easy day trip by regional train.
