Board your cruiser near Bordeaux's city center and enjoy a welcome cocktail as you settle in and begin gliding along the Garonne River. One of the largest rivers in France, the Garonne runs through Bordeaux and offers sightseers beautiful views of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed buildings that line the historic waterway.
Admire typical French classical and neoclassical architecture as you cruise past Place de la Bourse, a dramatic 18th-century square laid out by King Louis XV's architect. Cruise along Quai Richelieu to the arch of Porte de Bourgogne, pass under the Pont de Pierre bridge and admire the flamboyant Gothic spire of Basilica of St Michael.
