Bordeaux Experience

In my Place

Advantages: ***
Disadvantages: ***

...associated it with renowned wines. Bordeaux also got a very particular history, not exactly one to be proud of, but here it is, and the city inherited very beautiful and gorgeous monuments from the past. And the city being very dynamic and full of a student population, it's quite a place to visit ! First, you have to know Bordeaux is located in the South West of France, down by the Garonne river. The life here is quite smooth for summers are often ...
...shining brightly. Eventually, automn in Bordeaux and around is very charming for you can have an idea of what wine harvest is. And the last tourists give the city a remaining feeling of laziness and tranquillity I'm fond of. Bordeaux citizens are said to be rich. But anyway, it would be stupid to state each individual of a whole city is wealthy. Yes, the city got a good economic situation, thanks to the heritage of the past and the present businesses, ...

...consisted of me going to Bordeaux for two weeks trying to improve my French. It worked! there is a lot of great features in Bordeaux. the airoport was the first thing i saw. It was very clean and ran on time. I then was on the road where you see all the vine yards and big houses. the only bad thing was the amount of grafiti. this was probably becasue i was driving through a bad suburb. The shops in Bordeaux are very good with a huge selection of ...
...gadgets. For childre in Bordeaux the bus service is free in the week days which is also very reliable. In bristol i dont bother looking at what time the buses are arriving on the bus signs at the bus stops. In Bordeaux they all look at them. It seems to arrive exactly on time and are very smart, clean and hav very quiet engines. The only negatives of Bordeuaux was of the grafitti i saw and the number of homeless people. in Britain we see very few ...

Review of Bordeaux (France)

Bordeaux, a city protected by the Gods

Advantages: culture and wine
Disadvantages: some places are dirty

...miles of the Atlantic Ocean, Bordeaux put a point of honor to develop its exceptional architectural and cultural heritage. Such point that it was indicated " Town of Art " by the ministry for the Culture in 1978. This reward, perfectly justified, makes it possible to guess the extent of the monuments, museums, rooms of art or places which make the pride of the capital of Aquitaine. During my many voyages, I was brought to discover in-depth ...
...I open the gates of Bordeaux to you (I yes hope for that I did not forget the keys... see see, it is good I have them!). First of all, from a geopolitical point of view, Bordeaux constitutes the principal agglomeration of the south-west of France, and its 220000 inhabitants are managed since 1995 per Alain Juppé. Bordeaux is very well served by the various means of transport, and more particularly, it is possible to carry out the Paris way ...
