2023年11月15日 · I am just back from a conference in Bordeaux and it had been many, many years since my previous visit. I am truly amazed at how polished the city has become; the entire city center and the adjacent Chartrons neighborhood are a real delight to wander around, with lots of cute shops, cafes, restaurants, etc., and everything is beautifully restored.

2015年6月5日 · Rick has said that "Bordeaux must mean boredom in French," but that quick dismissal is directed to the big city, not the whole region. The Michelin Green Guide is a reliable resource for stops that don't fit the limited space in Rick's book.

2021年4月25日 · My husband and I are planning to stay in Bordeaux for 5 nights in October (hopefully we'll be allowed into France due to the pandemic).

2020年6月3日 · I spent five nights in Bordeaux last summer (late May/early June) and took a day-trip to St.-Emilion by train. However, I had 43 days to spend in western France. I enjoyed Bordeaux; it's a handsome city and I liked the museums. It is not, I would say, one of France's very most engaging destinations for the typical tourist.

2024年2月14日 · shellytilley, In Bordeaux, the Cite du Vin is quite impressive. You will spend 3-4 hours there, easily. You will spend 3-4 hours there, easily. The Lumieres ds Bassin is really nice also.

2021年5月27日 · The Graves region is just south of Bordeaux and we will ride through there later, staying in Martillac. I have used the Michelin Guide "Wine Regions in France" as well as "Exploring Wine Regions - Bordeaux" by Michael Higgens to give us a sense of places that might be open to visitors, albeit many require appointments.

2022年2月17日 · If you live in Napa Valley, you might be interested in how the wine trade in Bordeaux developed over the centuries. I enjoyed La Musée du Vin et du Négoce (not to be confused with the larger and more modern Cité du Vin). I lived in Bourgogne at the time and it was fascinating how different the wine business is in Bordeaux compared to Bourgogne.
