The tourist office at the train station offer half and full day tours to experience Bordeaux. Very well organized and at a very reasonable price (full day was less than 100USD when I went).

However, if y ou love wine, you may want to stay for longer and organize or join a more in depth tour of your favorite wineries.

Experience Bordeaux!

Nice community where you can work or live. Not too many touristic attractions, and the restaurants, shops, and hotels are sparse.

I live there.

The photo is of a statue near the center of the town celebrating the shoe makers that once made the town proud and the shoe factory owners rich (during the Industrial Revolution).

Good way to see the most important sights.
