Description

Visit Bordeaux by Bike

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.

The best way to see Bordeaux! Jean-Christophe is simply the best tour guide you can wish for. Funny, informative, not over bearing, charming and very well prepared. You will learn so much about and see every corner of Bordeaux. The bikes are extremely comfortable too. A special experience.

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 !

A very accessible route that in the space of a few hours allows you to take an overview of the main interests of the city and as a bonus a little sweetness offered! Thank you Jean-Christophe for your kindness and welcome. Eugénie&Eric

Lovely tour of Bordeaux! Jean-Christophe was great. He took into account all the varying abilities of our party and was funny and knowledgeable with excellent English. His descriptions of the history of the city brought Bordeaux to life for us all. We felt safe throughout this easy ride on comfortable bikes. Highly recommended!

Great tour! A must! I saw the reviews on TripAdvisor for Jean-Christoph’s tour of Bordeaux and was impressed that he had so many raves, but after my friends and I did his tour I have to say we agree with everything everybody else already said. He’s knowledgeable, friendly, and generous with his time, the tour is reasonably priced and we had a great time. I highly recommend you do this tour if you want to see the best of Bordeaux by bicycle.
