This summer was a very particular one in Bordeaux.
You all saw the fires, but even beyond those two very difficult weeks, it was just so hot. There were many days when staying in Bordeaux felt almost impossible.
So naturally, my July + August list looks a little different. Most of the places I loved this summer are actually around the Gironde.
Here are some of my favorite discoveries and places I really enjoyed this summer. Save them for your next visit!
đ Guinguette La MĂ©ric â La BrĂšde
đ CafĂ© Maritime â Lacanau
đ Magic Surf School â Lacanau
đ ANTONE Artisan Boulanger â FondaudĂšge, Bordeaux
đ Belle-Amie, la petite sĆur â Bourg
đ Le Bar du Rigalet â Gauriac, Blaye region
đ ChĂąteau Michel de Montaigne â Saint-Michel-de-Montaigne
đ Blouge â Bordeaux center
đ ChĂąteau Fleur de Lisse â Saint-Ămilion
đ La Bande Ă Roro (CĂ©pages & Fromages) â Bordeaux center
If you'd like even more restaurants, bars, cafés, villages, beaches, wineries, and hidden gems I love across Bordeaux and the Gironde region, you'll find more than 250 of them on my Bordeaux & Beyond map!
