Creator's Key Takeaways

We fell in love with Bordeaux as we were walking around.

It was just a gorgeous morning sailing down the Gon River into Bordeaux.

I would recommend it. It is right across the street from this lovely walking path.

I would highly recommend doing this tour whether you know nothing to you know a lot.

Join us for an unforgettable Azamara cruise port day in Bordeaux, France! We step off the ship and into the heart of this stunning UNESCO World Heritage city, exploring its charming streets and iconic landmarks.

We then indulge in a decadent seafood tower lunch at Le Cabanon Marin, brimming with oysters, prawns, and more ocean-fresh delicacies. After lunch, we wander through Place des Quinconces, admire the grandeur of Place de la Bourse, and marvel at the shimmering Miroir d’Eau. We also stop at Port Cailhau and take in the beauty of Bordeaux’s architecture before visiting the world-famous Cité du Vin, an immersive wine museum that celebrates Bordeaux’s legendary wine heritage. From historic gates to gourmet bites and cultural treasures, this port day blends sightseeing, gastronomy, and a dash of French elegance.
