Advantages: Beautiful city, friendlypeople

Disadvantages: Limited excitement for children

I stayed in Bordeaux for 3 months last year and its great. 40 minutes from the endless beaches of the Atlantic coast and deep in the midst of wine country the city of Bordeaux and surrounding countryside has something for everyone. The main shopping area is the Rue St. Catherine one of the longest shopping streets in the world. It is beautiful. 19th Century architecture down each side and some great shops and now they're improving the pavements. The Grand Theatre is spectacular although works are going on around it at the moment. The waterfront is worth a look too and there are several interesting museums. Night life is really good too thanks to the PLace de la Victoire. This is really lively with loads of bars mainly for the young but great fun. On the waterfront there are loads of clubs too. The surrounding countryside is beautiful and there are plenty of vineyards to choose from. For an interesting and fulfilling short break, come here!
