Bordeaux weather

Bordeaux’s weather consists of warm summers and mild winters, with a climate that teeters on the brink of being Mediterranean. Summers see average temperatures of around 22 degrees, while winters usually hover around 7 degrees. The best time to go is certainly during the summer months when you’ll see Bordeaux at its hottest and happiest, with plenty of wine-related goings on. Bear in mind that the summer months experience the odd rain shower, so bring a brolly just in case.

For clothes and general shopping, head down to Rue Sainte Catherine, which is the longest pedestrian street in the whole of Europe.

For the best views of the city climb to the top of Fleche St Michel. This 15th century church has the second-tallest stone tower in France at 112 metres and provides some stunning views of the city and the Garonne River.
