Lived in Bordeaux for three years and this videos brings back such fond memories!!! Food-wise don't miss out on the duck gizzard, duck confit, crème brûlée, macarons, chocolatine, canelés...getting hungry. Gotta go back some day 🤤

Nice overview ! I was born in Bordeaux and still live and work here. I'd add one Don't for your : don't forget the ocean or Bassin d'Arcachon. This is where Oysters (and other seafood like muscles and fish) are produced and you can eat them for half the price if you go to Ares harbour, or Andernos, La Teste, etc... You can rent a car for the day, it's 1h road trip .... or you can reach Arcachon by train if you want :) Cheers ! I've watched your "don'ts" from sweden and I agreee with ou as well. I've spent threee weekds there this summer :) Bonne continuation

Great informative video, thank you. Taking my family next week some your video has given me plenty of ideas of where to visit. As we're not big drinkers, I'm glad there's much more than the wine

These videos made such an incredible impact on our preparation, excitement, and overall execution of our trip to France!! We can't thank you enough for all the videos about Paris, Bordeaux (kudos on the canale and oyster recs), CDG navigation/Paris metro, the train travel across the country, language tips, etc. We were completely stunned by how exceedingly kind and welcoming the French were with us having followed your advice on key phrases to start conversations. All of the tips gave us confidence on what to expect and how to approach the trip overall, ultimately reducing our anxiety about the trip and language barrier. Any time we have the opportunity to head back abroad, I know we'll be check in on this page to see Do's and Don'ts. Turly, thank you for what you are doing, for the joy, energy, kindness, and passion you put into this page, these videos, and the community of world travelers.

I am a local, from Bordeaux, and it feels so good to hear you praise my hometown, thanks. By the way Bordeaux is only 2hours from Paris on the TGV (fast train link)

I just got back from Bordeaux after a 3 week trip through Europe. I didn't know what to expect, but I was impressed by how beautiful and clean Bordeaux is! Funny that you post this video after I was there. I can't wait to go back someday!

Hey ! I live in Bordeaux. That's pretty accurate. Thank you man for this nice picture you've made of our city.

[GirlGoingGlobal]

Wowweeee looks beautiful! Thanks for these tips, excited to visit :)

[fuzzylon]

Yes, yes, yes!
I went to Bordeaux for the first time a couple of weeks ago, but I was only there for a few hours.
It looks fantastic. So clean and well cared for. Hardly any traffic in the city centre, but frequent trams. I'm definitely going to go back and spend more time there.
While you're in western France you should come down and see Biarritz and Bayonne too.

Don't forget to visit the Base sous-marine. I think a lot of the digital art exhibitions are kind of a waste of time, but it was very cool to experience one in the dramatic setting of a former World War-II submarine base.

So nice to see my city featured in one of your videos ! 🤩
For reference, a public transportation ticket (TBM, "Transport Bordeaux Metropole") is roughly 2 bucks. Valid for one hour.
During that hour you can switch transportation modes with the same ticket (start with a bus, switch to a tram, then bus again if it's within the hour same ticket).

I lived in Bordeaux for a few months. Such a cute city

Well now you've been to Bordeaux, why not try Toulouse ? I used to live there, you'll love the wine, the food, the stunning architecture, the museums (including the Cité de l'Espace), the rugby and all the great places you can get to from there (Andorra, Albi, Carcassonne, the Val d'Aran in Catalonia ...).

Super helpful friend. We’re heading to Bordeaux on Wednesday with friends!

[marclafon]

I live in Bordeaux and all you are saying is top notch! I will just add that for the river you can take the "BatCub" is the city boat and it cost like a bus or tram ticket if you already have one. Don't take the ticket on the boat, it will cost you more.
And don't skip Saint Michel district It has the highest tour in town "La Fleche Saint Michel" (Its now under renovation but it's big) and has a big open market : "Les Capucins"

[jennyoshea]

Looks amazing. I do love fine architecture 👍🙌😊 thanks for sharing 🕊️🍇

[diebremerin]

Thank you for the great video. Can you please tell me the name of the vineyard in minute 6:00. The house looks to beautiful.

[MeansToTravel]

I love this video!!! I’ve always wanted to go to Bordeaux and these are perfect tips! Derek and I got a little nervous about the loud bangs at the beginning, but glad you guys are A-okay haha!

[rachiboo]

Going at the end of August - thanks so much!!

[patsymejia]

I loved Bordeaux! Beautiful city and people. But Wolter, you forgot to tell them not to forget eating the canneles de Bordeaux pastry. They are delicious, and regional to Bordeaux. I can’t wait to go back ❤
