Bordeaux near our Family Friendly Gites in SW France
Chateau Margaux
The world famous vineyards of Bordeaux start just an hours drive away from our
Gites and the city itself just 1.5hrs drive. Take a boat over from
Royan to the Medoc
penninsular and have a leisurely drive through villages such as
Margaux and St
Estephe
. In fact virtually every village you drive through is known to the wine lover.
Some of the more famous
Bordeaux Chateaux are open to the public, others you
must make an appointment with if you want to participate in a wine tasting..
The city itself is well worth a visit too, great shopping and fantastic architecture and
for a major city is easily accesible and easy to park in.
