Top-Rated Bordeaux Shore Excursions

Smaller ships sail up the Garonne and moor in the heart of Bordeaux, a walk from the Place de la Bourse and its reflecting pool; larger ships stop at Le Verdon at the mouth of the Gironde, about two hours away. Either way, the day tends to revolve around wine, with château visits in the Médoc or the medieval village of Saint-Émilion.
