The Bordeaux and Beyond Travel Guide is a pocket guide to the best of Bordeaux, written by two award-winning travel experts. This inexpensive mini-guide is about 8,500 words long, which is equivalent to a printed pocket guidebook of about 40 pages. It’s published by Beyond London Travel, who also produce the Beyond London Travel website. Companion guides in the same series include Toulouse and Beyond, and Montpellier and Beyond.
Bordeaux and Beyond is a guide to one of the major cities in France, and the capital of the world wine trade. Wine has been made here since the 8th century, and this guide explores the wine side of the city in full. It includes accounts of visits to several nearby chateaux, information on wine tours, the Bordeaux Wine Festival, and a short primer on wine tasting.
The book describes the best sights to see in Bordeaux itself, including the Golden Triangle, the museums of the Museum Quarter, the Chartrons District, the Place de la Bourse and the Quartier St-Pierre. In addition, the Beyond Bordeaux chapter has some of the easiest and most appealing excursions from the city, including to Cognac.
The guide also has sections on the best shopping, and recommends the best spas and a range of personally-selected hotels and restaurants to suit all budgets.
For sports fans there’s a section on activities in and around Bordeaux, with a special section on the main sport stadium for football and rugby fans, the Stade Chaban-Delmas. The Bordeaux and Beyond Travel Guide includes details of transport to the stadium, with information on the city’s best sports bars.
