Bordeaux District Guide

Bordeaux’s efficient tramway network connects every major quarter directly to Gare Saint-Jean and the airport.


  • Les Chartrons: Former 18th-century wine merchants’ quarter. Antiques, wine bars on Rue Notre-Dame, peaceful residential streets.
  • Saint-Michel & Capucins: Close to the central market (Marche des Capucins). Great budget dining, street life, and proximity to the main train station.
