Cheap flights to Bordeaux

The centre of one of France’s most famous wine regions, the city of Bordeaux is situated in the southwest of France in the Aquitaine region. At its heart the 18th-century old town is a stunning collection of imposing buildings on the quayside, combined with rejuvenated warehouses, now home to clubs and bars rather than goods and trade. Along with the recent restoration of the old city, a new electric tram system has been installed and some beautifully-landscaped parks have sprung up. Travellers book flights to Bordeaux to taste its famous red wines but also to sight see and explore this lively city. Home to a large university, the city has a young feel and there is plenty to do and see, especially at night time.

Bordeaux flights arrive at the city’s airport and the town is also an excellent starting point from which to explore the surrounding Aquitaine region. Visit the vineyards where the famous wine is produced or head to the pristine beaches along on the Atlantic.
