About the city
Bordeaux, an elegant hub of southwestern France, is known for culture, wine and architecture, but also as an attractive destination for sports and music events. The city combines the refined atmosphere of its historic centre with the energy of major arenas, stadiums and concert venues, offering visitors more than the event itself. Whether the reason for arrival is a match, a concert or a large production, Bordeaux provides a pleasant mix of urban rhythm, gastronomy and recognisable French charm.
Infrastructure is one of the city’s major advantages. Public transport is operated by TBM, with tram and bus lines connecting the centre, neighbourhoods, the Garonne river and the main transport points. Gare de Bordeaux-Saint-Jean is the main railway station, while Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport is the most important airport for reaching the city. Tram lines and bus connections make access easier to venues such as Matmut Atlantique and Arkéa Arena in Floirac, while good connectivity allows simple movement between accommodation, the centre and event spaces.
Before or after an event, Bordeaux offers many reasons for a longer stay. A walk along the Garonne river, a visit to Place de la Bourse and the Miroir d’eau, and exploring the old part of the city around the Saint-Pierre district give the city a special experience. For a relaxed continuation of the evening, it is worth visiting squares, wine bars, restaurants and riverside promenades, because Bordeaux works best when the event is combined with the atmosphere of the city.
