Bordeaux is one of those cities people think they know because of wine. But every time friends come to visit, I end up rediscovering it with them. Over a couple of days, you can walk through the historic center, spend time by the river, explore local markets, and eat really well without trying too hard. It’s one of the few cities in France where a weekend actually feels complete, not rushed.
In this guide, I’ll show you exactly how I’d plan a weekend in Bordeaux today, based on how I usually do it with friends and family. This itinerary works especially well if it’s your first time in Bordeaux and you enjoy exploring on foot.
💡Want to skip hours of research?
I made a personalized Google Map with all my favorite spots in Bordeaux and Gironde—restaurants, wineries, beaches, wine bates, and more than 250 other spots that I actually love. It’s perfect if you want to explore like a local without getting overwhelmed. Get the map here.
Your Weekend in Bordeaux at a Glance
Day 1 – Historic center, main landmarks, river walk, apéro and dinner in the city Day 2 – Chartrons, market, local neighborhoods, and a more relaxed side of Bordeaux If you have more time Add a half-day or full-day trip to Saint-Émilion (Here are some good options for half-day or full-day tours to Saint-Émilion from Bordeaux). Or Arcachon if you prefer more ocean vibes. – If you only have a few extra hours, visit a nearby château. Château Pape Clément is one of the easiest to reach from Bordeaux and a great option.
If you’re still exploring ideas or want a broader list of options, I also have a guide to the best things to do in Bordeaux, with more places and experiences across the city.
A bit of practical information before you visit Bordeaux
What area should you stay in?
Saint-Pierre (city center) – best location for first-time visits. Chartrons – quieter, local feel, great wine bars. Jardin Public area – ideal with kids, close to the park and still walkable to the center. For a full guide with hotel recommendations, see my detailed area guide.
Do you need a car in Bordeaux?
No, not if you’re staying in the city. I would actually avoid renting a car for a short trip. Bordeaux is easy to explore on foot and by tram. For day trips like Saint-Émilion or Arcachon, the train works well. You’ll only need a car if you’re planning to visit smaller villages or more remote wine regions.
When is the best time to visit Bordeaux?
Spring (April to June) and early autumn (September to October) are the best times to visit. The weather is pleasant and the city feels more relaxed. Summer is lively but can get very hot. Winter is quieter and still enjoyable, but expect rain. If you’re planning a short trip, January is probably the only month I’d avoid.
Do you need to book restaurants in advance?
Yes, especially for dinner and on weekends. Good places fill up quickly, so it’s worth booking at least a day or two ahead.
Should you visit wineries if you only have a weekend in Bordeaux?
I wouldn’t prioritize it for a short trip. Two days are better spent exploring the city itself. If you still want a quick wine experience, Château Pape Clément in Pessac is a great option close to Bordeaux.

Should you take tours in Bordeaux?
Bordeaux has 362 historical monuments (second only to Paris), and in this article, I’ll name the most important ones. If you’re interested in a deeper understanding of the history and architecture of Bordeaux, I highly recommend taking one of these tours: A two-hour guided walking tour offered by the tourist office A guided bicycle tour of the historic center and the Chartrons district. Classic Bordeaux – Audio Tour – My self-guided walking tour in Bordeaux
Porte Cailhau on Place de Palais
Day 1- The Classic Bordeaux Experience
This is the day to discover Bordeaux for the first time. You’ll move through the historic center step by step, with a mix of landmarks, food, and time to just wander.
If you only have one day in Bordeaux, I’ve also put together a more condensed itinerary that focuses on the essentials – you can find it here.
Morning – Coffee and the First Walk
Start your day with a good coffee in the center. Bordeaux has become a really good coffee city over the last few years, so you won’t have trouble finding a nice spot.
Some reliable options are Books & Coffee or L’Alchimiste for coffee and cake, and Peter’s Coffee or Homies Kitchen if you feel like having a proper breakfast or brunch. If you want more ideas, I have a full list of coffee places here.
Coffee shop in Bordeaux – by Lost in Bordeaux
From there, head to Saint-André Cathedral, one of the most important landmarks in Bordeaux. It’s a massive Gothic building that has played a key role in the city’s history, including royal events. If you’re up for it, you can climb the Pey Berland Tower just next to it for one of the best views over the city.
Late Morning – Saint Paul and the Old Streets
From the cathedral, start walking towards the Saint Paul neighborhood.
Continue through streets like rue Saint-James and rue Saint-Colombe, one of the nicest areas to slow down a bit, with small shops, cafés, and a more local feel than the main squares.
There’s no real route to follow here, just walk and see where it takes you.
As you continue, you’ll reach the Grosse Cloche, one of Bordeaux’s oldest and most recognizable monuments. It used to be one of the gates of the medieval city and still has that fortress-like feel, with its two towers and the large bell hanging in the center.
the Saint Paul neigborhood – by Lost in Bordeaux
Lunch – Marché des Capucins
For lunch, head to Marché des Capucins. This is Bordeaux’s main market, but more importantly, it’s where people actually come to eat. It’s a bit chaotic, a bit loud, and that’s exactly what makes it interesting.
If you want the classic experience, go to Chez Jean Mi, grab a table outside if you can, and order oysters with a glass of white wine. I still do this when I come here. It’s simple and very local.
Bistro Poulette – by Lost in Bordeaux
If oysters aren’t your thing, there are plenty of other small restaurants and stands around the market.
Local tip: Try to arrive before 11:30 on weekends, otherwise it gets very crowded.
Afternoon – Historic Center and the River
After lunch, head back towards the historic center, this time towards the Saint Pierre neighborhood.
One of the first landmarks you shouldn’t miss here is Porte Cailhau, a beautiful 15th-century gate that once served as the main entrance to the city. It’s one of those places that really gives you a sense of Bordeaux’s medieval past, especially compared to the more classical parts you’ll see later.
From here, continue towards Place de la Bourse and the Miroir d’eau. This is probably the most famous view of Bordeaux, and the point where the city really opens up towards the river.
If you’re traveling with kids, a small tip: bring a change of clothes. The water mirror looks calm, but most kids end up running straight into it.👉If you’re visiting Bordeaux with family, I have a full guide with more ideas and practical tips here.
Want to understand this part of Bordeaux better?
At this stage, you’re also entering the part of Bordeaux that made its architecture so well known. The elegant facades, the wide perspectives, and the sense of symmetry, most of this comes from the 18th century.If you want to understand this part of the city a bit better and not just walk through it, this is exactly what I cover in my Bordeaux Audio walking tour. It’s designed to help you notice the details that most people miss, including areas like the Grand Théâtre, the Triangle d’Or and Porte Dijeaux. Check out my Bordeaux Tour.

Evening – Apéro and Dinner
If the weather is nice, this is the moment to slow down a bit.
One of the best things to do in Bordeaux in the evening is to stop for an apéro, either by the river or on a terrace in the historic center. You don’t really need a specific place for this, just find a spot you like and sit down. Most places will serve decent wine, and the setting is what matters here.
For dinner, it’s worth choosing a place in advance. If you’re looking for something reliable, Bo-Tannique and Le Bouchon Bordelais are both excellent options for a proper meal. They focus on seasonal products and modern takes on French cuisine, and are a good introduction to the food scene in Bordeaux.
👉 You can find more gastronomic restaurant recommendations here.
Bo-Tannique – by Lost in Bordeaux
After dinner, if you still feel like it, you can always continue with a drink in one of the many bars in the center or along the river.
Day 2 – A Different Side of Bordeaux
This second day is less about landmarks and more about atmosphere. You’ll see a different side of Bordeaux, with local neighborhoods, markets, and a more relaxed pace.
Morning – Walk to Chartrons
Start your day in the Chartrons neighborhood.
This used to be the district of wine merchants, and today it’s one of the most pleasant areas to walk around in Bordeaux. You’ll find small boutiques, antique shops, cafés, and streets lined with elegant buildings, especially around rue Notre-Dame. It feels quieter and more local than the historic center, which is exactly why it works so well for a second day.
If you want more ideas on what to see and do in the area, I have a full guide to Chartrons here.
Rue Notre Dame – by Lost in Bordeaux
If you want to start the day slowly, Chartrons also has a few nice coffee spots. Pure Pâtisserie and Accalmie Café, both on rue Notre-Dame, are good options.
From the city center, walk towards Chartrons along the river. On the way, don’t miss Place des Quinconces and the Monument aux Girondins, one of the largest squares in France. The monument was built in memory of the Girondins, a political group from Bordeaux who were executed during the French Revolution, and it’s hard to miss with its tall column and large fountains.
Late Morning – Market and the Quays
Continue towards the Chartrons market along the river.
If you’re here on a Sunday, this is a great place to stop. You can grab oysters, a glass of wine, or pick up a few things for a picnic and sit by the quay, which is what a lot of locals do.
The atmosphere here is much more relaxed than at Capucins, and the setting by the water makes it a really pleasant stop.
Midday – Picnic in the Park or Museum
If you picked up food at the market, a great option is to head to Jardin Public, Bordeaux’s central park. It’s a beautiful green space with large lawns, small bridges, and plenty of quiet corners. You’ll see families, groups of friends, and people just relaxing there, especially on sunny days. It’s one of the nicest places in the city to take a proper break.
The central park of Bordeaux – by Lost in Bordeaux
If you prefer something cultural, you can also visit the CAPC Museum of Contemporary Art, located just next to Chartrons.
It’s not a must if you only have a weekend, but the building itself is worth seeing. It’s set inside a former warehouse, with huge open spaces that give it a very different feel from traditional museums. It’s also a good option if the weather isn’t great.
CAPC – by Lost in Bordeaux
Afternoon – Choose Your Pace
At this point, you can shape the rest of your day depending on what you feel like doing.
Option 1 – Bacalan, Wine and a Different Bordeaux
Head towards Bacalan, the old port area of Bordeaux.
This is where you’ll find the Cité du Vin, Bordeaux’s wine museum. It’s often described as a touristy place, but honestly, I’ve been there several times and still enjoy it. It’s very well done and gives a broader perspective on wine beyond just Bordeaux. Book your tickets. If you decide to visit, plan at least a couple of hours.
La Cité du Vin wine museum in Bordeaux
Just next to it, you’ll find Halles de Bacalan, a modern covered market that’s perfect for a drink or a casual bite.
You can also continue to the Bassins des Lumières, an immersive art space set inside a former submarine base from World War II. The setting alone makes it worth a visit.
👉 If you want to explore this area in more detail, I have a full guide to Bacalan here. How to get there: You can walk there from Chartrons or take tram B to the Cité du Vin.
Dali and Gaudi – Les Bassins de Lumières – Lost in Bordeaux
Option 2 – The Right Bank and a More Local Atmosphere
For something completely different, cross the river to the Bastide district.
There are several ways to get there:
tram A
walking across Pont de Pierre
Taking the Bat³ boat, which is part of the public transport system – leaves from the water mirror.
Once you’re there, head to Darwin, a former military site turned into a creative space with street art, cafés, and small shops.If you’re around later in the day (especially on weekends), continue to Chez Alriq, a guinguette by the river with live music and a very local atmosphere.
Darwin by Lost in Bordeaux
A nice option in between – Boat cruise
Another easy option, especially if you prefer something more relaxed, is to take a short boat cruise on the Garonne. Some of them include a glass of wine and depart from the city center, which makes it easy to fit right after your walk through Chartrons, with or without the market. It’s a simple way to see Bordeaux from a different angle without adding too much walking. 👉 Here’s a river cruise I personally enjoyed.
River Cruise with apero – by Lost in Bordeaux
Evening – A Flexible Last Night
For your last evening, keep things simple.
You can head back to the center for dinner, or stay in Chartrons if you liked the atmosphere there. Both areas have plenty of good options, depending on what you feel like.
If you want an easy way to choose, all my favorite restaurants, wine bars, and food spots are saved on my Bordeaux map, which you can open on your phone while you’re exploring.
A great way to finish your weekend in Bordeaux is with a wine bar.A few of my favorites include YARRA if you’re staying in Chartrons, Le Bar à Vin in the center, or One More Wine in the Saint Paul district. Each has a slightly different vibe, but all are great for a relaxed final drink – here’s a list of some of my favorite wine bars.
Yarra – by Lost in Bordeaux
If You Have More Than a Weekend in Bordeaux
If you can add a third day, it’s really worth leaving the city for a few hours. Bordeaux is surrounded by very different landscapes, and you can easily experience something completely different without going far.
Saint-Émilion is the easiest option if you want vineyards and a historic village. It’s a small medieval town surrounded by some of the most famous wine estates in the region, and you can get there by train in about 40 minutes. If you’re planning to visit, I have a detailed guide on how to spend a day in Saint-Émilion, as well as a self-guided audio tour that helps you explore the village at your own pace.
Saint Emilion by Lost in Bordeaux
Arcachon is perfect if you want the ocean. You can spend the day between the beach, the town itself, and the Dune du Pilat, the highest sand dune in Europe. It’s a completely different atmosphere from Bordeaux and makes a great contrast for a short trip. I’ve written a full guide on how to visit Arcachon and the dune, and I also have an audio tour to help you discover the town and its history.
Final Thoughts on Spending a Weekend in Bordeaux
If this feels like a lot, don’t try to do everything. Bordeaux is a city that’s best enjoyed at a slower pace, especially in the evening when people head to the river, terraces fill up, and the whole atmosphere softens a bit.
Even with just a weekend, you’ll get a very good sense of what makes the city special. And if you find yourself wanting to come back, that’s usually a good sign you did it right.

When my family and I decided to move from Paris to Bordeaux, practically everyone guaranteed that the hot weather is the real bonus of moving to the South of France. “No more rainy days being stuck at home with the kids” I thought to myself. Boy, was I wrong! Although there are a lot of sunny and hot days in Bordeaux, not many people know that on average it’s raining here 170 days a year. Almost every weekend I see people on social media asking: what do I do with the kids when it’s pouring rain outside and you can’t go to the park? Apparently a lot!!! You just have to know about it. So I’ve made a list of all the fun indoor things you can do with your kids when it is raining in Bordeaux:
Cap sciences
If you want a fun activity which is also educative then Cap Sciences is the place for you. It is located on Quai de Bacalan, in a beautiful spot with a view on the Jacques Chaban-Delmas bridge. The museum proposes interactive exhibitions and activities all dedicated to different aspects of science. Another interesting feature of the museum are the workshops that are dedicated to kids of different age groups (3-6, 6-12 and 8-14 years old) among them you can find photography, molecular k kitchen, eco-citizens and more. And while your kids are busy exploring the wonders of the universe, you can enjoy the amazing view of the Garonne river from the terraces of the “Cafe des sciences”. The museum is open Tue- Fri from 14-18 and from 14 to 19 on weekends. The prices varies according to the exhibition and a 50% is given to holders of the Carte Jeunes.

Skating in darwin
Darwin eco-system is where the cool kids go :).

Royal Kids in Pessac
There are some days when you just have to get your little ones out of the house to release all their energy, so if it’s raining non-stop and you can’t take them to the park, take them to Royal Kids in Pessac. Royal Kids is an indoor soft play with different structures adopted for kids from 0 to 12 years old. The place is open on Tue, Wed, Fri , Sat and Sun and every day during school break. The prices varies according to the age and number of kids in the family (between €4.5 and €9) and the entrance is free for kids under 1 years old and over 13 years old.
Address: 6 Rue Henri de Châtelier, 33600 Pessac
Karting and Bowling
If your kids are a bit older (over 11 years old) and you need an activity with more action, karting is always a good idea. There are two karting facilities in Bordeaux, one in Bordeaux-Lac (indoor) and the other one in Merignac (outdoor), both belong to Kart System.
However, Kart system is not only a karting place, you can easily make a family fun day out of it. In Bordeaux- lac, additionally to the huge karting indoor space there is a bowling alley with 20 lanes as well as 13 billiard tables with a bar. Kart-System in Bordeaux-Lac is open 7 days a week from 14:00.

Magic Makers
When the weather is bad many kids are stuck in front of the screen. This could be a good opportunity to discover if they like to create their own video games or to learn coding in general. To help them discover the digital world take them to an atelier at Magic Makers in Chartrons. Every Saturday at 13:30 Magic Makers invites children and teenagers between the ages of 6 and 15 to learn programming like adults and to enjoy themselves with other potential coding geeks 🙂 The price is €15 for every atelier.

La Parentèle for babies and toddlers
Last but not least, if your kids are too young for most of these activities, don’t be discouraged! La parentele hosts families with little kids every day except Sunday and it’s free. The Parentele is an indoor space for babies and toddlers where you will find a play area for different ages, a lot of toys, books, colors and a large space with coffee for parents to have a chat (while watching their kids of course). As the Parentele is open for all, it is limited for one hour and a half, but I guess for a toddler it is more than enough.
Address: 2 rue Courpon – 33000 Bordeaux
So next time you see clouds approaching, don’t panic! Bordeaux offers great indoor activities to keep you and your kids occupied.
If you know of any other places to escape the rain with the kids, please let us know in the comments below.
While Bordeaux isn’t typically known for winter, the city becomes wonderfully festive and beautiful in December. By late November, Christmas lights and little Pères Noëls (French Santas) begin to adorn the streets.
Like many French cities, Bordeaux hosts a large Christmas market, along with several smaller, charming markets across the Metropole. In this article, I’ve gathered the best Christmas markets in Bordeaux for 2025, with some located in the city and others in nearby towns in Gironde.
If it’s your first visit to Bordeaux, don’t forget to check out my Bordeaux map, filled with my favorite spots across the city. And if you’re still deciding where to stay, I’ve also gathered a list of the best hotels in central Bordeaux.
The best Christmas markets in Bordeaux in 2025
Marché de Noël de Bordeaux
After so many years in France, I have to admit that Bordeaux’s Christmas market has never been the most magical one for me. But I do appreciate how much it’s improving — especially since it moved to the spacious Place des Quinconces and started adding more fun things for kids.
You’ll find plenty of stands with Christmas decorations, local products, and seasonal treats, all wrapped in a festive atmosphere that lights up the heart of the city. Even if you don’t plan to shop, it’s worth coming for a cup of hot wine, roasted chestnuts, and that unmistakable holiday feeling.
📍 Place des Quinconces, Bordeaux 📅 November 28 – December 28, 2025 (open every day, including December 24 & 25) 🕚 11:00 – 21:30 For more info click here.
Over the years, the Darwin Christmas Market has become the alternative Christmas event in Bordeaux. It’s creative, eco-conscious, and full of charm — a true reflection of Darwin’s unique spirit.
Spread over two weekends this year (December 5–7 and 12–14), the market turns the old military barracks into a lively Christmas village. Around 150 artisans and local creators will showcase handmade crafts, jewelry, fashion, art, books, sports gear, and organic products.
It’s the perfect place to find original, sustainable gifts while enjoying good food from Magasin Général, live music, workshops, and activities for kids. A joyful and inspiring way to celebrate Christmas — without the plastic and pressure.

This weekend (June 14-18) Bordeaux will turn into a big wine celebration, marking the 20th year anniversary of “Bordeaux Fête le Vin”, one of the largest wine festivals in the world, a biannual event taking place in Bordeaux since 1998. Every two years, the banks of the Garonne are inviting wine lovers to five unforgettable days of events all dedicated to discovering the wines of Bordeaux and its region, Nouvelle aquitaine. But “Bordeaux Fête le Vin” is much more than a wine celebration! Visitors will be able to enjoy many events like visiting the beautiful tall ships, daily fireworks and music concerts. In this post I packed all the details you’ll need to plan your visit.
