The Top 3 Reasons Why You Should"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

It\u2019s not uncommon for folks to paint Bordeaux as a smaller Paris, and while there’s some truth to that, it’s doing this amazing French city a disservice. After all, you might say to yourself, why visit a mini Paris if you\u2019ve just left the real thing? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So is Bordeaux worth visiting? Well, you\u2019ve come to the right place to get your answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with Bordeaux’s famous wine museum<\/a>, the Cit\u00e9 du Vin, the city offers an impressive array of things to do. Of course, its major draw is its wine and culinary culture, but there is so much more to this under-the-radar gem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s such a cute city but has a small town feel,\u201d says Tanisha Townsend, Chief Wine Officer of Girl Meets Glass. \u201cYou also really get that dreamy French aesthetic that people come to France for. It\u2019s also very walkable so you\u2019ll definitely get your steps in and a bit of French history.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diane Rovner, founder of Bordeaux in Bites, agrees. \u201cI think Bordeaux is very often under the radar, and it frustrates me that people automatically assume that the best part of it is to go to the vineyards,\u201d she says. \u201cI know that that\u2019s very often why people are there, but the city itself is vastly underrated.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, for Monique Seillan of V\u00e9rit\u00e9 Wines and Ch\u00e2teau Lass\u00e0gue, Bordeaux is rich in offerings from cultural life to luxury boutiques to exquisite markets and restaurants. \u201cIt is certain that people who love Paris will not be disappointed when they discover Bordeaux.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So for those wondering, is Bordeaux worth visiting? Yes, this vibrant and charming city is well worth a visit in its own right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
