Chartrons Bordeaux Food Tour in the Wine District The Chartrons district is the historic heart of Bordeaux's wine trade, where centuries-old facades line cobblestone streets filled with artisan shops and traditional eateries. This three-hour guided food tour takes you through the neighbourhood's most authentic venues, sampling regional specialities that showcase why Bordeaux ranks among France's top culinary destinations.
