Why choose Bordeaux for your road trip

Bordeaux — a city worth exploring

Bordeaux's Cité du Vin rises like a giant glass decanter on the banks of the Garonne, housing 14,000 square metres dedicated to wine cultures from around the world. Beyond its famous vineyards, the city centre — a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2007 — rewards visitors with landmarks like the Place de la Bourse and its mesmerising Miroir d'Eau, the Gothic Cathédrale Saint-André, and the lively Marché des Capucins, where locals gather for fresh oysters and canelés every morning. The Pont de Pierre, Bordeaux's oldest bridge with its 17 arches, connects the historic centre to the right bank neighbourhood of La Bastide, an area increasingly popular with food lovers and families. For those arriving by campervan, the flat terrain along the Garonne makes driving relaxed and enjoyable. The Atlantic coast at Arcachon is just 66 km west, while the medieval town of Saint-Émilion sits 47 km to the east, both ideal for day trips. Bordeaux also serves as a gateway to the Landes pine forest and the Dune of Pilat, Europe's tallest sand dune. With Yescapa, you can hire a motorhome or campervan directly from local owners in the Bordeaux area, giving you the flexibility to explore at your own pace while benefiting from personalised tips and competitive peer-to-peer pricing.

Best time to visit

Bordeaux welcomes visitors warmly from April through October. The Fête le Vin, held every two years in June on the Garonne quays, is a major highlight for wine and food lovers. In September, the Journées du Patrimoine open doors to historic buildings usually closed to the public. Spring and early autumn are particularly pleasant for campervan travel, with mild temperatures and quieter campsites across the region. Summer remains the most popular season, so booking your Yescapa hire early ensures the best choice of vehicles from local owners. Winter brings a festive Marché de Noël to the Allées de Tourny, perfect for a cosy short break in Bordeaux.

Renting the campervan from Sofia, couldn't have been a better experience. She was very easy to communicate with, veeery welcoming and nice. She is very upfront and transparent about fees and very honest in the end with the deposit. A trustworthy person and campervan, I'd recommend to everyone. 5 stars!!!

The van suited our family of four nicely for a four-night trip. Christelle was very kind, communicated well, and took her time with us both during the pickup and dropoff. We really appreciated her patience with our limited French! We hope to be back.
