Hi Israel, thanks for showcasing my city! The filming and editing is outstanding. At the 3:40 mark you mention the fountains 'not working' and others too "...maybe to keep tourists away". Visitors are always welcome here! We receive 7-8 million every year but mostly in the summer. Every year, starting in October or November the city turns off all the fountains and water monuments to avoid them freezing in the winter. They come back on in April. I admit it's not as pretty when the fountains are left dry but they can be damaged over the winter. At the 8:12 mark, you state Bordeaux is the 6th biggest city in France. We're the 9th actually. Here's the order : Paris, Marseille, Lyon, Toulouse, Nice, Nantes, Strasbourg, Montpellier, Bordeaux... but we are the 4th biggest in size (spreads out a bit) and we are the second richest. Thanks again for your video and I hope you'll come back again on a day when everything is open!
Hello! I am looking to move to Bordeaux next year and was wondering if it’s a good place to live for an English speaker? I am currently learning French but don’t expect it to be perfect in a year.
That is not exactly correct. I'm from Bordeaux, allow me to explain. Bordeaux is a city from the 17th and 18th centuries from an architectural point of view. Paris and its Haussmanian architecture dates from the 19th century. The one who designed today's Bordeaux is the royal intendant Louis-Urbain Aubert de Tourny. But it is true that Georges Eugène Haussmann was prefect of Gironde and Bordeaux in 1841, when he became prefect of the Seine and Paris in 1853, he was greatly inspired by the layout of the streets of Bordeaux to build Haussmanian Paris that we know today.
I studied in Rouen and I loved it! Is a small city but with a lot of history, beautiful architecture, forests, bars, etc. Bordeaux is bigger and beautiful as well, is louder, with more things to do and more people as well. It will depend on the vibes you are looking for! Enjoy it!
Thank you for sharing this video, Bordeaux is a place I want to go and you just confirmed it, just beautiful, hope to get there soon! Really enjoyed it😊
You showcase this beautiful city very well with your great photography and editing. We just added Bordeaux to our France to do list. We are looking forward to viewing your past videos.
Place Gambetta, rue Saint Catherine, rue porte dijoux, jardin publique, grand théâtre, café le régent, café Gambetta église peyberlant, place de la victoire, gare Saint Jean.... ❤️

This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
Great Video Israel. We’ll be traveling to Bordeaux in two weeks and im just checking YT to know some good spots to take photographs in the area. Great I stumbled on your video. Quick question, how’s drone restrictions around Bordeaux?
Hello Romel 😉 I didn’t have a drone when I went to Europe so I’m not familiar with the regulations there. I know it’s more strict so you should research before flying because there are fines. Good luck on your trip!
🤔you know Israel, I like how you think. I'm going to Europe on Xmas day for 2weeks and I'll be spending 3days in Paris. You know I gotta get out of the Instagram influenced mindset of traveling by only visiting places I'm familiar with. Travel is all about get to know unfamiliar places and people. Been to Rome - Soo many tourists and trash by the Trevi. I need to think unconventionally. Thanks for great content. 👍🏾
I only went to one restaurant in Bordeaux and it’s called “Chez Thérèse” but it wasn’t that good so that’s why I didn’t include it on the video. You can check on Trip Advisor for places to eat 😉
Thank you for the video! Quick question : you did not mention getting around … did you walk to all of those places ? Is there a hop off/on bus for tourists ??
Hello Joni 😉 yes I walked everywhere. The city is very walkable and the attractions are pretty close to each other. I only took a taxi to get to the city from the airport (which I don’t recommend because it was VERY expensive) btw there are trams in the city and they are very efficient. Hope this helps!
If anything, you have a bus that goes from airport to the train station, passing by the city center. It is a bit long (45 minutes), but it is very convenient price wise! It is the number 1, pretty easy to find. I definitely don’t recommend taking a taxi in Bordeaux, it is expensive and the tramways / bus can usually bring you anywhere :)
Thank you Jim 😉 I think things were closed cause it was Sunday and in France a lot of things close on Sundays. I also think it’s because of COVID but I’m not sure. I think if you go there now things will be open.
Slim Jim, Bordeaux is my city. In winter, only the main shopping streets (St Catherine and others) are open on Sundays. Israel is right that most of the city would be closed because it was Sunday, as elsewhere in France. On any other day, the streets and squares are full of people as the city centre (old Bordeaux) is banned to traffic and is pedestrians only. In fact, the city just expanded even more the area reserved for pedestrians to 65 hectares total (160 acres), adding another 22km (13 miles) of streets with no traffic. Regarding tourists, we're not trying to keep them away! All our visitors are very welcome and there's so much to see and do here. The number of tourists is increasing every year now and we welcome between 7-8 million people annually. I hope you come to visit one day!
Hello 😉 I think you won’t have any problems. French people are very health conscious so I’m sure you’ll find plenty of vegan food. Good luck on your trip 🙌🏽
See you soon all friends. I am full of Lebanon and all his problèmes, beautiful country but bad located and many political problems. Lebanon is finish.
