About this experience

Bordeaux: Guided Cruise on the Garonne with a Tasting and a Canelé This 90-minute guided cruise on the Garonne River shows you Bordeaux's historic waterfront from the best possible angle. You will board a comfortable yacht at Port de la Lune, the UNESCO World Heritage site that anchors the city's riverside quarter. As you glide along the gentle current, your guide shares stories about the landmarks in both French and English whilst you enjoy a traditional canelé pastry and a tasting of your choice, served on board by the host. The route takes you past Gothic cathedrals, elegant 18th and 19th-century mansions, and waterfront museums that define Bordeaux's architectural heritage. The Garonne has shaped this city's trade and culture for centuries, and seeing it from the water gives you perspective on how the river connects Bordeaux's past with its present. The spacious yacht ensures comfortable seating for all guests, including wheelchair users.
