Bordeaux: holiday in France’s wine country

From its fancy-sounding delicacies that make you sound worldly (even if you’re talking about entrails) to châteaux plucked out of fairy tales to neat rows of vineyards and a museum dedicated entirely to wine—cheers to you, La Cité du Vin—Bordeaux has mastered the art de vivre (art of living).

Why not venture a little east and uncover Dordogne, one of France’s most picturesque—and delicious—departments? Hike the Dordogne Valley, dotted with prehistoric caves. Canoe past quaint villages down Dordogne River. And cycle along routes lined with medieval castles. Don’t forget to stop for a little fuel: how do foie gras and black truffles sound?

Bordeaux Your Way

Bordeaux may entice with its famous châteaux and sunny vineyards, but much like its wine, it boasts many intriguing notes, best savoured through a romantic glide along the Garonne, a promenade through its postcard-perfect Place de la Bourse and Water Mirror, a haunting opera at its Grand Théâtre or a climb up the 229 steps of the Pey-Berland Tower.
