On top of this, bakeries and fromageries across the city will mean even cheese and bread is the best you'll have tasted.
Things to do

Of course, you can simply sit on a patio outside a bar and watch the world go by with a great glass of wine.
Sightseeing
There are so many different attractions throughout Bordeaux, so you may struggle to fit them all in. If you want to take a relaxed stroll, there is nowhere quite like the Pont de Pierre to do so, which offers views out over the water.
You should also be sure to head to the Water Mirror, which is located opposite the Place de la Bourse. It creates a stunning mirror effect, especially on a clear night, which really can't be missed.
