Just like a good wine whose aromas unfold gradually, Bordeaux is a city that doesn’t reveal everything on the first visit. One must return, take time, sometimes a lot, sometimes a little, sometimes in summer and sometimes in winter.
The slogan “Bordeaux my city,” proudly spread by the locals on social media, will resonate within you after a visit to the Gironde’s metropolis. You will only want one thing: to get to know Bordeaux as if you were at home.
The City of Gastronomy
For many years, Bordeaux held the title of the city in France with the most restaurants per inhabitant. Gastronomy plays a significant role among the locals. They enjoy dining out: the terraces in the many cobblestone streets of the old town or along the Garonne in the historic district are always bustling. If you have a particular restaurant in mind, be sure to make a reservation, especially on weekends, to avoid wandering the streets with a growling stomach in search of a table.
