Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, Bordeaux is renowned for its remarkable architecture, gastronomy, and quality of life. The city offers the perfect setting to extend your stay after attending the exhibition.

A historic and cultural city

Wander through the historic centre, visit Place de la Bourse and its famous Water Mirror, or enjoy a walk along the Garonne riverbanks, one of the city’s most lively spots.

A world capital of wine

Bordeaux is world-renowned for its exceptional vineyards, with prestigious wine estates just a short distance from the city in Médoc, Saint-Émilion, and Pessac-Léognan. Be sure to also visit the Cité du Vin, a unique cultural venue dedicated to the history and heritage of wine.

Close to nature and the coast

Just under an hour from Bordeaux, you’ll find the Arcachon Bay, with its oyster-farming villages and the famous Dune du Pilat, the highest sand dune in Europe.
