Visiting Bordeaux in May
May is one of the best months: glorious sunshine, comfortable 21°C weather, and bustling terrace dining on Place du Parlement.
Bordeaux curves along a graceful crescent of the Garonne river in southwestern France. The historic wine capital of the world is a masterpiece of 18th-century urban enlightenment, boasting a monumental ensemble of pale limestone facades inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
- From the airport
- Bordeaux-Merignac Airport (BOD) is located 12 kilometres west of the city. Modern Tram Line A departs directly outside Terminal A, reaching central Place de la Bourse and the cathedral in about 35 minutes for a standard city transit ticket of roughly 1.80 euros. Taxis to downtown cost between 30 and 40 euros.
- Getting around
- The historic city centre is largely pedestrianized and best discovered on foot. The sleek 4-line tram network (TBM) operates using an overhead-wire-free ground power system in the historic core to protect architectural views. The Le Velo shared bike system is ideal along kilometres of riverside esplanades.
