    beautiful and peaceful city

    we enjoy the trip to Bordeaux, it is a beautiful city, with a lot of monuments. Sightseeing along the river is kind of relaxing. you could forget the busy work. weather is very nice, sunshine and blue sky. people is warm and friendly. visit Chateau and wine tasting is so interesing. and Arcachon is also a good sea side to enjoy holiday, but we do not have enough time. and We stayed B&B Jardin du Sequoia is a really charming place to stay in Bordeaux. good value for money. we think stay 3 nights in Borde

    Beautiful city! Quite a lot of beggars but the streets are beautiful. The river is a great place to chill out by at night time.

    Insider Tip:Dansons sur les quais, a dance festival on the river made our evenings absolutely perfect. Beautiful.

    Bordeaux

    Bordeaux is a very nice city. Very well maintained and very pretty. Nothing very special to see there but very nice to walk around and sink into the atmosphere. The part of the city worth seeing is not that big and can be seen in a day.

    Insider Tip:Check out the water mirror near the river. Also get a ride in one of the super cool trams. At night there are several streets full of little restaurants and tasty (I mean tasty) food. I should off course mention wine, but me being not much of a wine lover I couldn't give a rating on that.

    ok city. we found a great fair/carnival that puts USA fairs to shame. good rides, fun houses, scary houses, games, arcades, and big bags of fresh churros for 3 euros.

    Insider Tip:shopping is cheaper here than most of france.

France: Itinerary

Nice conjures up images of casinos, beaches and beautiful people. This image is pretty much right. While Monaco may be better known for its more outlandish casinos, there are still quite a few in France’s fifth largest city. It attracts sun worshippers like honey attracts bees. But Nice isn’t as glamorous as Cannes so as a backpacker you won’t feel to out of your depth here.
