Airport Car Rental
One of the main cities in Western France and one of the great winemaking destinations of the world, Bordeaux greets thousands of visitors every year. Most of the wine-related attractions are in the villages and farms around the city (there are many tours you can enjoy even if you’re driving and cannot sample the wine). The city itself, meanwhile, boasts plenty of well-preserved architecture, as well as one of the finest riverfronts in Europe. These are three of the main attractions in Bordeaux:
- The Port of the Moon. The location of Bordeaux’s harbor on the Garonne river, the Port of the Moon is also the most visited part of the city. Named after its distinctive shape, the area is a UNESCO world heritage site and home to many of Bordeaux’s finest landmarks like the Water Mirror (the largest reflecting pool in the world) and iconic Bourse square.
- Museums. In addition to architecture and wine, Bordeaux is also home to a good number of interesting museums. These include CAPC, the contemporary art museum that’s located in one of the most beautiful buildings in the city, Regional Museum of Aquitania, Fine Arts Museum, and a highlight among them all - the interactive City of Wine that’s in one of the most futuristic buildings in all of France.
- Churches. As in many other European cities, some of the finest architectural examples in Bordeaux are its many churches. Highlights include the 11th-12th century Church of the Holy Cross built in the distinctly Romanesque style, the Basilica of St. Michel whose spire dominates the city’s skyline, and the monumental Bordeaux Cathedral.

Lovely area but really badly signed airport- took us 30 minutes driving round the airport and getting stuck in a pay and display car park as the car hire is fenced off and not sign posted how to get to it until you arrive at the entrance
