The river

The history of Bordeaux is intimately linked to the Garonne River. For a long time, the river was the city’s “breadbasket”, and it spearheaded the city’s prosperity. Today, the river is still at the heart of the city of Bordeaux. You can go on a cruise and enjoy an aperitif or head towards the estuary while indulging in excellent wine, food, sports activities, and more. An opportunity to discover the city from a new angle... It’s so easy to fall for the Garonne’s countless charms.
