Bordeaux can be visited all year round. The tourist offer is always rich and the student and commercial life is boiling. However, the hot summer weather will not make it easy for you to walk from monuments to museums. Don't forget that you will have to walk a lot to discover the area classified as a UNESCO heritage site! In the hottest part of summer, even at night temperatures do not drop in the city centre. In summer, when the heat is choking you, go to the docks where a small wind blows from the sea. The ideal is to go to the seaside during the day and book in the morning and evening for your visits to Bordeaux. And if it's too cold, because it's a harsh winter, take shelter in the city centre where you can always warm up in the many shops and cafés. However, even in winter, if the sun shines, it is not uncommon to be able to eat on the terrace.
Autumn is often grey and rainy, so spring is the most pleasant time. But it is in September that Bordeaux has the highest number of tourists. Finally, know that in June Bordeaux celebrates wine and the river, two opportunities to schedule your visit at this time.
Attention: the water mirror is not in service from November to April, it is then in maintenance.
