What to do while in Bordeaux
With your Bordeaux car hire in hand consider driving along the banks of the River Garonne or visit the docks area in the city, enjoying the restaurants and entertainment with residents and visitors alike. Get out the sat nav and take your 4x4 outside the city to visit some of the region’s famous vineyards – Domaine de Chevalier is a 30 minute drive south of Bordeaux.
Winter 2023/21 in Bordeaux
Bordeaux is a good place to visit in winter if you would like to take a ski trip to the Pyrenees. Make sure you have your snow chains and ski rack and let your car hire take you into the mountains – there are ski resorts between three and four hour drives away from Bordeaux. Alternatively you could stay in the city and use your car hire to visit the Bordeaux Wine & Trade Museum or some of the cosy cafes to keep you out of the cold.

I picked up my car at Sixt in the Bordeaux train station. Jonathan facilitated changing my reservation so that I could drop it off at the Sixt airport location. Both Jonathan, and the staff at the airport, were friendly, helpful, and efficient. Definitely a good car-rental experience. I would be happy to rent from Sixt again on my next journey
