That's exactly what our scavenger hunt in Bordeaux offers you. You will come across many restaurants, but also numerous other sights to discover here.

Scavenger hunt in Bordeaux against a historic backdrop

Bordeaux is situated in a privileged geographical location, not directly by the sea, but still in a maritime environment. This allows unique wines to thrive here and ensures a temperate climate. People recognized this advantage early on and there is evidence that the first settlements were established over 2,000 years ago. The Celts were followed by the Romans, Franks and other rulers, but the city only became a permanent part of France in the 15th century. If you take a look at the facades and buildings during your Bordeaux scavenger hunt, you will quickly realize that French culture has had a significant influence on the city as it is today. The old town of Vieux Bordeaux looks like something out of a fairytale book, so picturesque are the streets between the Garonne and the former city walls.

One of the most impressive landmarks is Saint-André Cathedral with its 81-metre-high towers. As you stroll through the old town, you will always have a spectacular view of its richly decorated north façade. Incidentally, it is by no means the only church in the center; numerous other religious buildings are just a few hundred meters away.

The Place de la Bourse is also a must-see when exploring the city. It bears witness to the wealth and innovative spirit of the city, as it was the first open square of its kind in the early 18th century. Originally named Place Royale, it has retained its royal charm to this day. Especially in the evening hours, you can enjoy an impressively romantic view here when the lights are reflected in the river. There are also some excellent restaurants nearby, for which Bordeaux is just as famous as for its wine. The historic center is also a great destination if you want to make culinary discoveries after your scavenger hunt. The selection of regional specialties is huge and it is difficult to make a recommendation in view of this variety. But the sweet Canelé is definitely worth a try!
