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.

We enjoyed our 2 1/2 hour tour on the bicycles around Bordeaux. We were given beautiful bikes, had an excellent guide and learned a lot about the history of the city, which is very interesting. All as told by a local with depth of experience. Would definitely recommend this.

Even though we had persistent occasional rain showers the ride was fantastic. Jean Christophe was an incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable guide who gave us a lot of insights into Bordeaux’s tremendous history and recent resurrection from its “sleeping beauty” phase. Would highly recommend as an introduction to the city!

Bordeaux by Bike for the WHOLE family JC was a wonderful guide. Unfortunately I had made an incorrect booking for our 2 x children but JC luckily had two children sized bikes that we could utilise. Phew! Crisis averted. The trip was just as pleasant going forward. Bordeaux by bike is so beautiful and JC was an excellent guide!

Fantastic tour. Our group of ten got a quick overview of the history and architecture of Bordeaux from an amazing tour guide. A great way to get your bearings around Bordeaux so you can later explore more fully during your stay in this magical city. Great for all age groups and riders of all levels. The auto drivers in Bordeaux are tremendously respectful of cyclists. Would give 6 stars if I could.

Go see Bordeaux by bike What a treat! Jean Christophe was a gracious, welcoming host and a tour guide extraordinaire. If you are going to have success as a tour guide, passion is a necessity. Bordeaux has latched on to Jean Christoff and he is very proud of his city and the works they’ve undertaken to bring it back to life
