@@si_quest I was living in the city centre, and I never felt unsafe. Same goes for friends that lived in other areas. Maybe my experience would have been different had I lived in other parts of the city. However, I've never heard that Bordeaux was an unsafe place. If you go there as a tourist, you will probably mainly stay in the centre anyway.
Yeah, I noticed that it's been to go to France during to colder seasons rather than the warmer season from what I gathered. When I was there in the fall, tourism in Paris was still bad but not as bad as summer from what I heard.
If you mention "a lot of tourists", try the Côte-d'Azur in the summer? No comparison! After Paris, Bordeaux is my favourite city and Arcachon bay, the paradise of my youth.
Bordeaux is the best place of France, France is the middle of Europe, Europe is the middle of the Earth and it is well know that the Earth is in the center of the universe.
TGV two weeks advance purchase Paris to Bordeaux is $50 1st Class, $20 standard with arrival 10AM. Bordeaux to Paris is $50 arriving 9PM. Yes indeed you should stay longer but a mid-week day trip from Paris is doable and cheap. If you want to enjoy some of the world's best wines in region, a day-trip is definitely an option. 🇫🇷🍷👍
I've France one time, but I stayed only in Paris. I plan on returning in 2023 as the country is hosting the Rugby World Cup (cross my fingers nothing crazy happens by then)!!!! After watching this video, I'll be sure to check out Bordeaux. I'll be touring a lot of France this time around rather than the last time. Thank you for posting this video!!!!! I drooled over the food while having nostalgic moment of my time in Paris!!!!
We were pleasantly surprised by Bordeaux. Easy to get around by tram or walking. Great food scene. Nice location by the river. We took a train to Arcachon and then a bus to the dune - very easy day trip, you don't need to drive. And re the water mirror at the Place de la Bourse - I think the light is better in the morning when the sun is shining on the buildings.
My family and I are going for a 6 day trip to Bordeaux in a month and I have shared this video and the "don'ts" video to the family group. The videos have made me even more excited for the trip. Thank you 😊
I used to have a bad impression of France in terms of pickpocketing, having lost a camera to an attractive couple making out on a train (classic) but, in Bordeaux, I left my phone in the park, and a cool youngster for whom I had just played a song biked half a mile up the riverwalk at night to return it to me. France has all sorts, and Bordeaux is a particularly friendly place.
Haussmann was the governor of the Bordeaux province, the town with its typical open architecture, large avenues and building styling was his inspiration for the Parisian style he created when Napoleon III called him to remodel Paris... the famous Haussman style.. without Bordeaux there would be no Paris as you know it today.
Thank you for all of your informative videos about France! I prepped by watching and now that I’ve returned, I wanted to give a BIG shout out to Bordeaux! It was my favorite city-even more so than Paris! And everyone was friendly and helpful. I will add however that there were a lot of tourists (like me) in town. The secret is out! 😂
Bordeaux has the look and feel of a warmer, sunnier Paris. All that 18th Century stone and river-setting, you could be forgiven for thinking the first few Parisian arrondissements had been dragged 200 miles south. Bordeaux clearly is lovely; open, but with a manageable feeling of ‘see all my important bits in a day’. All it really lacked was a core of tightly packed narrow streets opening out onto a few squares and perhaps a nice Plaza Mayor centrepiece. Everything seemed like I was wandering around the French version of Edinburgh’s New Town when I wanted a bit of tumbledown Old Town magic too!
I was there a couple of years ago. The amount of tourists is climbing, but it was so wonderful! The food, the wine, the ambiance were all outstanding! It felt much safer than Paris. The many side trips available from Bordeaux were varied and all lovely! The bus and tram systems are efficient. It is a great city to walk in with all the pedestrian areas! Wolter, you failed to mention the duck!! So good!! Do visit both a big winery and a small (Mom and Pop) one. They are both unique experiences!! Did I mention the food, wine and ambience? Go!!
Hi. How was the weather there We are from the Caribbean 😉 (in the video I saw people wearing jackets etc. We are planning visit Bordeaux at the end of September Thanks
I Loved this video, because I just watched another travel blogger, "French Girl in Seattle" just do several videos on Bordeaux. She just moved back home to Paris after 23 years in Seattle. She is now a Rick Steeves tour guide and EXTREMELY knowledgeable. Thanks Mark.🎈🎈
So in case you wonder why “ place de la Bourse” looks so much like Versailles … same era! Something else you can’t miss is Fontaine de Girondins on place des Quinconces . And 2 wine museums ( citée du vin) 🍷!
I'm from Bordeaux and I must disagree about the public transport being convenient. Yes it gets you anywhere around the city, but it's always crowded like a cattle wagon. Also, don't use a car, there are trafic jams everywhere in the city and on the Rocade (highway) around it and you'll take hours to make a few kilometers. Best way to move in Bordeaux is by bike ! There is a lot of tourists everywhere, and not a few, especially on the docks where you are it's always crowded with tourists in the summer. If you went there in summer of 2020 there was nobody, be it tourists or locals because of Covid restrictions. Also, there are some neighborhoods where you better not act like a tourist (for example don't take pictures and videos, especially if you are filming people, it's illegal to take pictures of and film people without their authorization in France and we also very much dislike that for the majority). Be careful whenever you go in the neighborhood around St Jean trainstation and in St Michel.
I am reading your information. Very helpful as I may be relocating there for work. How may I ask how is the covid situation and people from other countries viewed? Thank you take care.
Hi Wolter! This is an excellent video on Bordeaux! I am wondering if you (or any of your other followers) know how the weather in Bordeaux (and around its wineries) is in January.
Bordeaux is my favourite french city, I went there twice and hesitate to go there for the third time 😂😂 If you go back in France, come to visit Brittany (Bretagne), if you haven't done yet. It's at 1h25 from Paris by train (TGV). Visit Rennes, Saint-Malo make an escape in Mont St Michel too. If you want to stay longer you can go in Morbihan or Côte D'armor (Brittany's department), and maybe take a boat in St Malo, to go to Jersey or Guernesey
Thanks Mark! I was on the fence about taking a slight detour to Bordeaux. My family and I plan on driving from the Normandy region down into Catelonia, Spain. I’m feeling now that we have to go. :)
If it wasn't for this coronavirus I would actually made my tour starting from Bordeaux or Toulouse and ending in Bilbao via Bayonne and Donostia/San Sebastian just right now 😅. So yes, thanks Mark for making me miss traveling even more and gain like 5-10kg for watching the food and wines of Bordeaux and maybe even the Basque Country 😅. Speaking about cusine, I kinda expect travel and food videos from the Basque Country, Asturias, Galicia, Turkey (Istanbul, Aegean region, Antalya, Ordu, Trabzon, Rize, Arhavi and Hopa) and Georgia the country with Tiflisi and Batumi in the near future when Covid-19 is over :-).
You are a fantastic person. Videos of him are excellent. Even if you speak quickly, we can follow and understand you very well. I'm Brazilian, trying to learn your language. I believe I am at a pre-intermediate level. Your videos really help my understanding. Thank you very much.
It's worth it to take a daytrip to Arcachon if you want to go to the beach! You can hire a bycicle there and cycle all the way along the beaches to Dune du Pilat, it's Europe's highest dune (110 m) with awesome views!
@@Iyana Lovely city, just be prepared to feeling like in 18th century :) And lots of tourists. Highly recommend half-day tours of vineyards from the Tourism Office, I took 2 trips 50 EUR each, don`t regret it.

On the way there is an almost uninterrupted stretch of millesime producing vineyards bording the Garonne. Then there's Gujan Mestras a cute fishing village with colourful cabins and oyster beds, Arcachon a massive water bassin flanked by the dunes du Pila.
I'm from bordeaux and the euro 2016 was such a wonderful time even if i'm not a big football fan the streets were very much alive and everybody was smiling :)
We took train from Paris, stayed there a night at that hotel you see in first few minutes. Rented a car and drove to Sarlat for a week. Wonderful place both! Have you done a vid in Sarlat?

How many days are enough for Bordeaux, I was planning two days back in March but of course everything changed. So hoping when borders are open to go to Paris for four days and then Bordeaux, so how many days are enough for it?
I'm on my own tonight and eating an "Amy's" burrito....seems particularly pitiful, watching the mouth-watering food featured here! They don't say "French-trained chef" for no reason". I want to go! Thank you.
Not really I live in Marseille and the city is not North African majority it is a melting pot with Algerian, Tunisian, Moroccan, Italian, Spanish, Polish, Jews, Armenian, Comorian, Cap Verdian, Lebanese and French people and the majority of time it works very well haha you can have an Armenian church a synagogue and a mosque in the same neighborhood and it s cool people have no problem with it you can have an Italian wine store and a halal butcher in the same streets a veil woman with a woman with a mini skirt etc.. the city is very open minded
Do you speak French? Is only speaking American a hindering quality? I'm taking a surprise trip there in September and will be by myself a lot of the time, so I am nervous.
I from bordeaux and It is but paris really inprooved on that in the past few years as far as the touristic areas goes! But some people still didn't get the memo about picking up dog poop in both cities sadly
Very well done,but i have lived here for near on 11yrs,there are a lot of tourists, but not as many as Paris! I speak french,but as soon as they hear an accent,it"s going english!
