About the city
Floirac, on the right bank of the Garonne opposite Bordeaux, combines the calm charm of a residential town with the buzz of major events. Its proximity to the metropolis means you’re minutes away from top concerts and sporting occasions, while Floirac itself keeps a relaxed, visitor-friendly feel. A key highlight is Arkéa Arena, a modern venue that has firmly placed Floirac on the map for regional and international events.
Getting in and around is designed for simplicity: the TBM (Transports Bordeaux Métropole) network links the wider Bordeaux area with trams and buses, complemented by practical options such as park-and-ride facilities and public bikes. Whether you arrive by train at Gare de Bordeaux Saint-Jean or fly into Aéroport de Bordeaux–Mérignac, you’ll find straightforward, well-organized connections onward to arenas and stadiums across the metropolitan area. This mix of multiple gateways and reliable public transport makes planning your night out effortless.
Before or after the event, make the most of the riverside setting: a walk along the Garonne with views toward Bordeaux sets the mood, and nearby you’ll find classic city landmarks such as Place de la Bourse and historic districts in the center. For a different kind of bonus experience, Floirac is also home to the Observatoire astronomique de Bordeaux, a place that blends science and culture and is perfect for a calmer stop before the main spectacle.
