Take the tram from near the hotel to explore Bordeaux : 5 stops and you’re at Place des Quinconces in the historic city centre.
HERE YOU MIGHT LIKE TO GO INTO THE TOURIST OFFICE, where you can find out all you need to know to get the best out of your stay and maybe sign up for an excursion or two. Bordeaux is a UNESCO world heritage site, so you might prefer to discover some of its fabulous architectural and cultural heritage on foot: the Grand Théâtre, Place de la Bourse, the water mirror...
AND THERE ARE PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR SHOPPING AND SOUVENIR HUNTING, in Bordeaux’ many shopping streets, most of which are pedestrianised.
THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING GOING ON IN BORDEAUX,
with the many festivals and other cultural events that take place all year round: the Médoc marathon, the River and Wine festival...
PARTEZ Á LA DÉCOUVERTE DES VIGNOBLES,
Or why not explore the famous vineyards that start just outside the city: the Tourist Office organises excursions where you can visit the prestigious estates – and, of course, try the fantastic wines !
ACCES TO STADE CHABAN-DELMAS,
Last but not least, for sports fans there is a bus from the station straight to the Stade Chaban-Delmas, venue for many sporting events – particularly football.
FANCY A WALK ? On leaving the hotel, go down to the quayside opposite the Sainte Croix and Saint Michel districts and admire all the new facilities that have been built over the past few years. Apart from the many parks and wood-paved paths along the riverside, there are also 5 sports areas: a wall for playing handball games, an urban skating zone, a basket-ball court, an urban football pitch, and a sandy "beach" area. Visitors and sports lovers will also find weight-training equipment (cardio) and lots of play equipment for the children.
