The course :
Join us in the heart of the historic center of Bordeaux at the charming Place Raymond Colom, the ideal meeting point to start this magnificent bike ride.
On the agenda: Discovering Bordeaux together in a convivial atmosphere, lots of smiles and well-being.
Once equiped, ready for the adventure ahead, we will make our way towards the oldest door of Bordeaux, the Grosse Cloche (also known as the “Big Bell”) dating from the 13th century. Then we shall cross the Saint-Michel district, famous for its local market before quickly reaching the magnificent Pont de Pierre bridge to cross the Garonne river. This trajectory offers us a unique view of the “Port of the Moon” and its majestic facade dating from the 18th century. This will be the perfect moment to share with you the history of Bordeaux over the centuries.
We will stroll along the Parc des Angéliques (“Angelic Park”) and across the Garonne river via the impressive Jacques Chaban-Delmas Bridge to explore some of the city’s most important sites. We will discover the Chartrons district, the historical heart of the wine trade in Bordeaux, which is famous for its wine cellars.
We will resume our stroll along the charming Notre Dame Street. We’ll head for the beautiful Jardin Public (“Public Gardens”) and then the historic center, passing by the Quinconces esplanade and its monument dedicated to the Girondins, the Triangle d’or (“The Golden Triangle”), City Hall and the Saint-André Cathedral. Then we will go through the cobbled streets, pretty plazas (always animated thanks to their cafés!), and finally we will pass in front of the world famous Miroir D’eau (“Water Mirror”) before going to admire the second oldest city gate of Bordeaux and returning to our starting point.
The itinerary may vary according to the weather, possible city events.

Simply a great way to see and learn about this beautiful city! This was an excellent tour. We have been to Bordeaux before but Jean Christophe took us to some wonderful parts of the city that we hadn't previously seen. It was a wonderful way to spend a Sunday morning and learn more about this fabulous city.

We had the absolute best time doing this bike tour. We learned so much about the city, we saw the most beautiful places and our guide was amazing. He very thoughtfully packed water for us, tissue, rain ponchos and stopped to by us a lovely canelle. We would highly recommend this tour.

Most Enjoyable : We had a most enjoyable cycle tour with Jean Christophe. He was charming and knowledgeable and gave us a great insight into the history and development of Bordeaux. The cycling is largely traffic free thanks to plenty of cycle tracks and the bikes are in excellent condition. A great trip!

The Best way to experience Bordeaux ! I used to live in Bordeaux 14 years ago and I hadn't been back since. The city has become such a beauty and the bike tour is the best way to explore all it's beautiful corners. I would however only recommend the door to people who are confident on a bike as the city and the shared foot and bike path can get quite busy. The tour is great value for money. I had an awesome guide and the bikes were all super well maintained. I can only recommend it!

Jean Christophe was a wonderful tour guide. He did a great job showing us all the important sights and also took us over the bridge to the east side of the river, exploring interesting areas not generally seen by tourists. At strategic points he pulled out a notebook that had pictures of Bordeaux from Roman times, etc. We learned so much from him and had a great time !
