Getting there
Planes, trains, automobiles, or maybe even helicopter – we tell you the best way to go.
- Planes
- Bordeaux-Mérignac airport is six miles from the city centre. There is a shuttle bus service to the centre every 45 minutes, taking half an hour.
- Trains
- TGV links Bordeaux to the Eurostar terminals in Paris (3hrs) and Lille (5hrs). The main station is about ten minutes outside the centre.
- Automobiles
- The warren of narrow one-way streets in the centre is largely pedestrianised, but it’s useful to have a car to visit the beach or follow the wine trails.
