About Bordeaux
Bordeaux is the wine capital of south-west France, on the Garonne well inland on the Garonne. Smaller cruise ships sail up the river and berth right in the historic centre at the Port de la Lune, along the Quai des Chartrons. Larger ships use the port's terminals at Le Verdon and Pauillac on the Gironde estuary instead.
From the quays, passengers can walk to the Place de la Bourse and the Chartrons district, or take the tram across the city. Saint-Emilion's vineyards are a short trip east.
