Every year, when the days start getting shorter in autumn and the morning fog lingers well past noon, we pack up the car and head south. <strong>Our final destination is <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/portugal-best-places-holiday\/\">Portugal<\/a>,<\/strong> where we spend the winter, but we always try to see something along the way \u2014 it&#8217;s a long drive, and with a small child it&#8217;s even longer. <strong>Bordeaux, France is one of our regular stops, and there are plenty of things to do here.

But this is more than a poetic moniker. That curve created a natural harbour that brought the city wealth for two thousand years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All those honey-gold fa\u00e7ades, sweeping squares, and monumental buildings aren&#8217;t a coincidence. They were built <strong>during a massive 18th-century urban overhaul<\/strong>, when the city literally tore down its medieval alleyways and erected what you see today. And where did all that money come from? Trade. Wine, of course, but also colonial goods \u2014 and, tragically, involvement in the slave trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bordeaux was <strong>France&#8217;s second-largest slave-trading port<\/strong> after Nantes, with 419 to 480 documented expeditions. Between 1672 and 1837, roughly 150,000 to 200,000 Africans were deported on ships from Bordeaux. The city profited indirectly \u2014 importing sugar, coffee, rum, and cotton. Today, Bordeaux addresses this history openly and is working to reckon with its past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_stay_in_Bordeaux_%E2%80%94_and_why_we_recommend_Chartrons\"><\/span>Where to stay in Bordeaux \u2014 and why we recommend Chartrons<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first time we visited Bordeaux, we stayed right in the centre, near Place de la Com\u00e9die. It looked perfect \u2014 we were in the middle of everything. But we barely slept a wink. Tipsy tourists under our windows, noisy restaurant terraces until eleven at night, and then clubs thumping until three in the morning. With a toddler, it was a nightmare. That&#8217;s why we recommend the Chartrons neighbourhood. Chartrons sits north of Place de Quinconces, about a 15-minute walk from the centre. It used to be the wine merchants&#8217; quarter \u2014 British, Irish, and Dutch traders had their warehouses and elegant townhouses here. <strong>Today it&#8217;s the most sought-after residential area in Bordeaux, a blend of bourgeois and bohemian.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why Chartrons is brilliant:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Peaceful, but never boring.<\/strong> It&#8217;s noticeably quieter than the tourist centre, yet you&#8217;ll still find excellent restaurants, caf\u00e9s, and wine bars. Rue Notre Dame is lined with boutiques, vintage shops, and antique stores. On Sunday mornings, Place du March\u00e9 des Chartrons hosts a local market \u2014 smaller, calmer, and more authentic than Capucins.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tram B gets you everywhere.<\/strong> Line B runs straight through Chartrons towards the centre, to Saint-Jean station, and north to Cit\u00e9 du Vin and Bassins \u00e0 Flots. The ride to the centre takes 5\u20138 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Riverbank and park on your doorstep.<\/strong> You&#8217;re just minutes from Quai des Chartrons (a waterfront promenade with a playground and skatepark) and Jardin Public. With small children it&#8217;s ideal \u2014 morning in the park, tram to the centre, then back to the park or riverbank in the afternoon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Perfect for families.<\/strong> Chartrons is considered one of the best neighbourhoods for family living \u2014 pedestrian waterfront for rollerblading, a skatepark, calm atmosphere. You&#8217;ll see locals with their kids here, not hordes of tourists.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reasonable prices.<\/strong> Yes, Chartrons is a &#8220;posh area&#8221;, but it&#8217;s still cheaper than Saint-Pierre or the Grand Th\u00e9\u00e2tre surroundings. You&#8217;ll find quality Airbnbs, smaller hotels, and lovely B&#038;Bs.

Some hotels have their own car parks or can advise on long-term parking. Street parking is metered during the day, but often free in the evenings and at weekends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Safety:<\/strong> Chartrons is one of the safest and quietest neighbourhoods in Bordeaux.

Radisson Blu or Seeko&#8217;o Hotel are solid choices here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>La Bastide (right bank):<\/strong> A calmer neighbourhood on the other side of the river with good prices and an authentic atmosphere. Tram A or D gets you to the centre in 10 minutes. A great option for families with a car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Avoid:<\/strong> Cours de la Marne after dark \u2014 it&#8217;s not the safest area. Saint-Michel has charm, but be cautious there at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"37_things_to_see_and_do_in_Bordeaux_France\"><\/span>37 things to see and do in Bordeaux, France<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s dive into what you should see and do in this beautiful city of Bordeaux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Place_de_la_Bourse_and_Miroir_deau_%E2%80%94_but_come_at_the_right_time\"><\/span>1.

Place de la Bourse was built specifically to impress foreign merchants arriving by boat on the Garonne. Its message was crystal clear: &#8220;Look how wealthy we are.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In front of the square lies the <strong>Miroir d&#8217;eau \u2014 the world&#8217;s largest water mirror<\/strong>. It&#8217;s a shallow pool (about 2 cm of water) that creates perfect reflections of the palace. Every fifteen minutes, a mist sprays above the water \u2014 lovely in summer, though in October we were glad to have our jackets on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Practical tip:<\/strong> Arrive an hour before sunset. The light is at its best and you&#8217;ll avoid the tourist crowds. In summer, locals gather here in the evening, sit by the river, and sip wine \u2014 join them. In winter, note that the Miroir d&#8217;eau may be out of service for maintenance, typically November to March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Time on site:<\/strong> A good 45 minutes to an hour. Don&#8217;t expect information boards or interactive features though \u2014 it&#8217;s simply a square and a reflecting pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Place-de-la-Bourse-a-Miroir-deau.jpg\" alt=\"Place de la Bourse and Miroir d&#039;eau in Bordeaux\" class=\"wp-image-127465\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Place-de-la-Bourse-a-Miroir-deau.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Place-de-la-Bourse-a-Miroir-deau-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Place-de-la-Bourse-a-Miroir-deau-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Place-de-la-Bourse-a-Miroir-deau-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Place-de-la-Bourse-a-Miroir-deau-696x464.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Bassins_des_Lumieres\"><\/span>2.

It&#8217;s a <strong>former World War II submarine base<\/strong> built by the Germans. Enormous concrete halls several storeys high, with four massive water-filled basins in the middle. And onto all those walls and ceilings, they project dynamic digital art shows accompanied by music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we visited, the exhibition was dedicated to the Impressionists. The walls came alive with giant Monets and Renoirs that shifted and morphed in time with the music. Our son was absolutely transfixed \u2014 mouth wide open. So were we.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Practical tips:<\/strong> <strong>Book your tickets in advance online via <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"GetYourGuide\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/doporucujeme\/getyourguide\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">GetYourGuide<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 the venue often sells out. Tickets cost around 14\u201316 euros; children under 5 go free. It&#8217;s chilly and damp inside (it&#8217;s still a submarine base, after all), so bring a jumper. The show lasts about 50 minutes, but you can stay as long as you like. Allow 1.5\u20132 hours in total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- LKM_GYG_CARD start q=\"bordeaux bassins\" lang=\"en\" rendered=\"2026-06-02T06:18:19+00:00\" v=\"1\" -->\n<style id=\"lk-gyg-styles\">\n@import url(\"https:\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\/css2?family=Playfair+Display:wght@700&family=DM+Sans:wght@300;400;500;600&display=swap\");\n\/* === LK GYG karty \u2014 CRO redesign 2026-05 (namespace .lkx-) ===\n   C\u00edl: vy\u0161\u0161\u00ed CTR (hero + v\u00fdrazn\u00fd social proof + ak\u010dn\u00ed CTA, m\u00e9n\u011b \"reklamn\u00ed\").\n   Injektuje se inline do prvn\u00edho markeru postu (refresh_cards.py --inline-css). *\/\n.lkx-module, .lkx-module *{box-sizing:border-box;margin:0;padding:0}\n.lkx-module{\n  font-family:'DM Sans',-apple-system,Segoe UI,Roboto,Georgia,sans-serif;\n  max-width:860px;margin:2.5rem auto;color:#1f2328;\n}\n\n\/* HEADER \u2014 lehk\u00fd editorsk\u00fd, \u017e\u00e1dn\u00fd bannerov\u00fd blok;

At the end, you take the lift up to a panoramic viewing bar where a glass of wine and sweeping views of Bordeaux are included in the ticket price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Practical tips:<\/strong> The Bordeaux CityPass includes admission, BUT only before noon. If you want to visit in the afternoon, you&#8217;ll need to pay extra. Tickets cost around 22 euros.

The trail runs along the river from Pont de Pierre (the Stone Bridge) all the way to Chartrons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What you&#8217;ll see: 18th-century honey-coloured fa\u00e7ades (limestone quarried from the region), wide promenades along the Garonne where port warehouses once stood, Place de la Bourse, Porte Cailhau (a medieval gate), and the narrow streets of the Saint-Pierre quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Practical tip:<\/strong> Start at Porte Cailhau and walk towards Place de la Bourse, then continue along the river northward. The waterfront is flat and smooth \u2014 ideal for pushchairs. You&#8217;ll pass plenty of caf\u00e9s and wine bars along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Time for the walk:<\/strong> 2\u20134 hours depending on how often you stop. With a toddler, allow for the longer version \u2014 they&#8217;ll want to run, rest, eat\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Porte_Cailhau_%E2%80%94_a_slice_of_the_Middle_Ages\"><\/span>5. Porte Cailhau \u2014 a slice of the Middle Ages<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the few surviving medieval landmarks. The gate was built in 1495 to celebrate King Charles VIII&#8217;s victory at the Battle of Fornovo. It&#8217;s a charming little Gothic turret-topped structure that contrasts beautifully with the neoclassical Bordeaux surrounding it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can go inside and climb to the top (232 steps) for a view, but honestly \u2014 the view isn&#8217;t spectacular and it&#8217;s quite narrow and dimly lit. Worth admiring from the outside though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Time on site:<\/strong> 15\u201330 minutes from outside, 60\u201390 minutes if you go inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Porte-Cailhau.jpg\" alt=\"Porte Cailhau\" class=\"wp-image-127467\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Porte-Cailhau.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Porte-Cailhau-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Porte-Cailhau-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Porte-Cailhau-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Porte-Cailhau-696x464.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Porte Cailhau<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Grosse_Cloche_%E2%80%94_the_bell_that_dictated_the_grape_harvest\"><\/span>6. Grosse Cloche \u2014 the bell that dictated the grape harvest<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Grosse Cloche is a medieval gate topped with an enormous bell. It served as a city fortification gate and the belfry of the old town hall. The bell, Armande-Louise, dates from 1775 and weighs a hefty 8 tonnes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The city magistrates used this bell to signal the start of the grape harvest<\/strong> \u2014 winemakers weren&#8217;t allowed to begin picking until Grosse Cloche had rung. It also served as a fire alarm. Today it rings at noon on the first Sunday of each month and on public holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Practical tip:<\/strong> The best view is from Rue Saint-James. You can&#8217;t go inside \u2014 it&#8217;s an exterior-only attraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Time on site:<\/strong> 20\u201330 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GrosseCloche.jpg\" alt=\"Grosse Cloche \u2014 the bell that dictated the grape harvest\" class=\"wp-image-127469\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GrosseCloche.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GrosseCloche-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GrosseCloche-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GrosseCloche-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GrosseCloche-696x464.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Grosse Cloche \u2014 the bell that dictated the grape harvest<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Grand_Theatre_%E2%80%94_stunning_outside_skip_the_tours\"><\/span>7. Grand Th\u00e9\u00e2tre \u2014 stunning outside, skip the tours<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A neoclassical theatre from the late 18th century with twelve Corinthian columns and statues on the roofline. It&#8217;s an emblem of Bordeaux \u2014 the city&#8217;s official tourist board says as much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>But:<\/strong> The guided tours often disappoint. You go in expecting something on par with the Paris Opera, but the tour is fairly brief and there isn&#8217;t much to see unless you&#8217;re attending a performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Practical tip:<\/strong> Admire it from the outside, snap your photos, and then treat yourself to a glass of wine at one of the nearby wine bars instead. If you do want to go inside, try to get tickets for an opera or ballet \u2014 that&#8217;s a completely different experience from a standard tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Time on site:<\/strong> 15 minutes from outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Grand-theatre-bordeaux.jpg\" alt=\"Grand Th\u00e9\u00e2tre Bordeaux\" class=\"wp-image-127468\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Grand-theatre-bordeaux.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Grand-theatre-bordeaux-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Grand-theatre-bordeaux-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Grand-theatre-bordeaux-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Grand-theatre-bordeaux-696x464.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Grand Th\u00e9\u00e2tre Bordeaux<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"lk-stays-module\">\n<style>\n\/* \u2500\u2500\u2500 RESET PRO GUTENBERG \u2500\u2500\u2500 *\/\n.lk-stays-module * { box-sizing: border-box;
