Bordeaux is really fortunate: a river is running through it.

Cities crossed by rivers are different, atypical, open to the world. There is always something to do or see around a river and the Burdigala cruises (former name of Bordeaux in Roman times) offer a beautiful cruise on the river which has forged the city's identity throughout its history. In French, Bordeaux literally means 'water edges'.

A cruise is a great way to discover the Bordeaux docks and its heritage listed by UNESCO.

Departure from the docks (Quai d'Honneur Ponton Richelieu, next to 'La Maison éco -citoyenne')

Opening hours: In March, departure every Sunday; in April, May, June, September and October every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday from 3.30pm to 5pm and in July and August, 2 departures every day, from 3.30 pm to 5 pm.
