City Overview
Fifth largest city in France, with a population of 650,000 this thriving cultural centre and transportation hub between France and Spain is undergoing a facelift.
To be completed in 2009 most of the 18th and 19th century buildings are presently cover with scaffolding, whilst a network of tram lines are being constructed to make the city’s core into an urban triumph, once completed. The most ‘unfrench’ city in France, it houses warehouses, factories, mansions and sprawling suburbs.
Daily Budget
Bordeaux is an interesting city to visit but you do not want to be hanging out in the ‘seedier’ side of town, where most accommodation is cheap and nasty, so for a more comfortable stay in the city budget at around US$47.
