The town known as La Belle au Bois Dormant (Sleeping Beauty) is situated inland in the Southwest corner of France, and revels in its reputation of fine red wine, a reputation that has lingered since King Henry II’s time in the 12th century.
Once you have landed from your flights Bordeaux is best explored on the first Sunday of every month if possible because this is when the city centre is closed to traffic and many of the attractions stay open for longer.
Ambience, excellent wining and dining, and some very decent museums are the reasons why many visitors choose to get on flights to Bordeaux. Wine tasting is a popular past-time but if you are really serious about learning the art, enrol at the Ecole du Vin for either introductory or intensive courses.
Those on flights to Bordeaux will not want to miss the Cathedrale St-Andre, dating back to 1096 with many of the sections remaining from the 13th and 14th centuries. The tall belfry will delight you with amazing views over the city...as long as you can scale the 232 narrow steps up and down.
Museums of note include the Musee d’Aquitaine with 25,000 year old relics, the CAPC Musee d’Art Contemporain containing many works of modern art, and the Musee des Beaux-Arts with an impressive collection of Flemish, Italian, and Dutch paintings from 17th century.
