A Weekend in Bordeaux
Check in, ask the hotel and tourist office what to see, get around by tram and enjoy a city weekend in France.
A weekend city break in France often starts with a TGV booked on SNCF Connect; Bordeaux is about two hours from Paris. Most French cities have an office de tourisme near the centre with free maps and city passes covering museums and public transport. Many museums close one day a week, usually Monday or Tuesday, so check before you go. Use vous with hotel and tourist office staff.
