The best city to travel to in 2017 - Lonely Planet

They used to call her the ‘Sleeping Beauty’, but – though she’s hit the snooze button a few times – Bordeaux is now wide awake and ready for action. The new LGV Sud-Ouest line, due for completion in mid- 2017, connects the city with Europe’s high- speed train network and cuts travel time from Paris to just two hours. Its timing is perfect. Here, Lonely Planet author, Jean-Bernard Carillet, tells us more.

I burst into tears while watching this video. Brought back so many memories of my erasmus in Bordeaux. I will be eternally in love with this city and I dream that someday I will return.

We've just filmed a 4k city walk in Bordeaux and this helped to inspire and orientate us. It's lovely to discover how we can share and learn so much from each other. Thank you.

We agree! Bordeaux is just mind-blowing...

Bordeaux's Sunday market - Marche des Quais - on the banks of the Garonne is a lot of fun. We loved the fresh oysters, shucked to order

I can't find that song that plays at 0:00. Does anyone know it. It sounds so good!!!

I love Bordeaux.
My only complaint is that there's hardly any foliage/parks/trees/green spaces, (like Nantes, for example).

I'm of Bordeaux! It's very cool!

I can't find that music at the beginning of the video. Does anyone know what it is?

[Vstang]

I can't find that song at the very beginning of the video. Does anyone else know what it is called.

I don't understand, this choice has been made by French ? I'm happy of course, because I'm French but is it fair ? I'm still very surprised

I prefer the city of Lyon, for the fact that it has great restaurants, has good diversions, it is a clean and dynamic and beautiful city, is close to the Burgundy, Alps and the Mediterranean.😉.

Lyon is a better city, much more to offer and more diverse!
