About this excursion
Designed for cruise passengers, this tour takes you from Le Verdon port to 'Little Paris'—the stunning city of Bordeaux. Known for its rich history, elegant architecture, and world-renowned vineyards, it is the heart of France’s most famous wine region.
Bordeaux’s beautifully preserved old town is closed to vehicle traffic, so upon arrival, your guide will lead you on a walking tour of the city’s main sights. View the famous Cathédrale Saint-André, walk through Place de la Bourse, the city’s iconic square, and see the Water Mirror, one of Bordeaux’s most photographed spots. Stop at the Grand Théâtre, a neoclassical theater that has been a cultural hub for over 200 years.
After the guided portion, you’ll have some free time to visit shops, relax at a café, or try local food. You can also join an optional wine tasting at a nearby bar for €30 per person. At the designated time, rejoin the bus for the return trip to Le Verdon, ensuring you arrive back at your cruise ship on schedule.
