Car Hire Bordeaux Airport

Bordeaux Airport is a simple two and a half hour flight from London. In this short period of time you can be transported to one of the best climates in the world. Bordeaux basks in the type of long, glorious summers that you remember from idyllic childhood days with summer temperatures averaging a very relaxing twenty five degrees. Once you land at Bordeaux Airport, use Budget car hire for your main mode of transport and you will immediately have the freedom you need to explore this magnificent port city located on the Garonne River in South West France. The main feather in the cap of Bordeaux is it's placing on the UNESCO World Heritage List as "an outstanding urban and architectural ensemble of the 18th Century", so if history is your thing, you will find Bordeaux steeped in the stuff. Renaissance and Gothic buildings litter this area in such abundance that it is a region sought after by producers of period films. Budget car hire in Bordeaux will ensure you don't miss out on any of these architectural masterpieces.

Car Rental Bordeaux

We all know Bordeaux is famous for its wines but did you know it's the collective experience of wine making since the eighth Century that makes them do it so well? Did you know that the region boasts a whopping 287,000 acres of vineyards with 10,000 wine producing châteaux that push out an annual production of over 700 million bottles of wine? The output ranges from everyday table wines to some of the most expensive wines in the world. If you can't find something you like here, you won't find it anywhere! For your sample of Château Lafite-Rothschild or a tipple of Château Haut-Brion, or any other Bordeaux wine you fancy, use your Budget car rental vehicle to visit some of these vineyards. Having more than one named driver on your car rental agreement will ensure everybody gets a chance to taste the best thing to come from this region of the world.

Bordeaux

Of course, Bordeaux has a lot more to offer the tourist than wine. The Cathedral of St André, Château Trompette and the Fort du Hâ are all well worth a visit as is the French Cruiser Colbert floating museum. For a full run down of the City's history visit the Musée d'Aquitaine which depicts the history of Bordeaux from prehistoric times to the modern day. Sports fans might like to note that the 35,000 seater Stade Chaban-Delmas stadium is home to the French football and rugby teams and is also known for the strongest cricket team in France. Of course, no visit to any part of France would be complete without a shopping expedition so park up your hire car and take a stroll down Rue Sainte-Catherine. The 1.2 kilometres of shops, restaurants and bars make it the longest shopping street in Europe. Beginning at Place de la Victoire and ending by the opera house at Place de la Comedie, you will find a plethora of shops and watering holes well worth a flex of the credit cards. For those who are searching for truly exclusive boutiques of the highest elegance, visit the Cours de L'Intendance.
