Frequently asked questions

What are the major attractions in Bordeaux?
If your trip to Bordeaux is all booked but your itinerary is looking a little empty, let us give you a few hints and tips.Think of Bordeaux and then say the first thing that comes to mind. Bet you said "Aquitaine Museum," right? Being such a famous attraction, you simply can't miss it. Throw your suitcases into the car and check it off your bucket list.Take in the best that this city has to offer by adding Cathedrale St. Andre and Grosse Cloche to your schedule. If you've got an extra day or two to spare, check out Musee des Beaux-Arts and Place de la Bourse too.Stop by Grand Theater Opera National of Bordeaux. It's one attraction you'll find on many visitors' must-do lists. If you still have space on your schedule, Rue Sainte-Catherine and The City of Wine will keep you amused too.
What are the best road trip destinations near Bordeaux?
With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it'd be much more difficult to experience everything that Plage de La Jenny, 30 miles away, has to offer. Plage du Domaine Résidentiel Naturiste La Jenny, Plage centrale du Porge and Plage de La Cantine Nord alone justify the drive out here. Locals will also likely point you toward Plage de Suzette, 25 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, let it be Taussat-les-Bains Beach. (But we'd also highly recommend Plage Sud de Taussat and Plage Nord de Taussat.)
Where are the best beaches near Bordeaux?
One great thing about getting a rental car while you're staying in Bordeaux is that you'll be able to get out and see some of the area's beautiful beaches no matter what the weather forecast's like. So, grab your sunscreen (or your raincoat) and get ready to set off to one of these top options:

  • Plage du Lac (3 miles away).
  • Libourne plage (18 miles away).

If you like to get out and rub shoulders with new people, attending an event at Bordeaux Congress Center is a terrific idea. You'll find it 4 miles from Bordeaux, so take a look at the conference calendar and see what grabs you.
What kind of rental car should I get for Bordeaux?
Bordeaux — so many things to do, so little time. Aquitaine Museum is just for starters. That's why renting a car simply makes sense. Discover more of the famous sights of this busy city with a mini or an economy car. Heavy traffic, narrow passages, lane changes, and parking are made all the easier with small vehicles like these. However, if you'd prefer to get around in a little more style, why not opt for a convertible? Ideal for enjoying the beautiful weather and scenery, you can head out to the dunes of the region with the top rolled down and the breeze blowing through your hair.
Should I get a luxury rental car in Bordeaux?
You're spoiled for choice when it comes to rental cars in Bordeaux. From sporty models with all the mod cons to zippy compacts that make parking a cinch, you'll find it all here.
