    • BORDEAUX BATEAUX , guided cruises and boat trips on the Garonne in the heart of Bordeaux

      Cast off and discover Bordeaux's heritage from the Garonne River ! Departing from the Ponton d'Honneur, opposite the UNESCO World Heritage-listed quays, Les Bateaux Bordelais offers a fleet of sightseeing boats, allowing you to experience the city in a unique way, with a drink in hand and cruising along the water. Whether it's for a family outing, drinks with friends, or a cultural escape for two, the company offers a range of cruises to suit all tastes. With a 4.5/5 rating based on over 1,000 Google reviews, it's one of Bordeaux's must-do water activities, just a stone's throw from the Chartrons district.

      Don't miss the narrated cruises to discover Bordeaux from the water

      For a first glimpse of the Port of the Moon, the Bordeaux UNESCO Guided Cruise offers a historical discovery of the city in a 1-hour boat trip departing from the Ponton d'Honneur, an unusual and cultural interlude to experience Bordeaux from a fresh perspective. Those with a sweet tooth will opt for the Wine Glass & Canelé Guided Cruise : 1.5 hours aboard the Sirius, Bordeaux's only electric-powered sightseeing boat, enjoying a canelé with a glass of wine (or a non-alcoholic beverage) while listening to anecdotes from passionate guides, in French and English. An ideal option for a family outing, with a child fare of €5. These cruises combine the pleasure of sailing, heritage discovery, and the Bordeaux way of life.

      A pre-dinner cruise and private boats for your events in Bordeaux

      To extend the experience into aperitif time, the Winemaker's Apéro Cruise takes passengers on a 1.5-hour convivial cruise, featuring a gourmet platter and a tasting of Bordeaux wines accompanied by an assortment of appetizers and canelés, perfect for families, friends, or colleagues. Beyond public cruises, Les Bateaux Bordelais also offers private charters for your private and professional events : corporate seminars, festive evenings, birthdays, or cocktail parties, with a capacity of up to 250 people aboard the Sicambre.

    I enjoyed the winemaker's aperitif experience thanks to a Wonderbox gift certificate. I had a truly wonderful time with my family. We tasted three wines (one rosé and two Saint-Émilion reds) and enjoyed a generous appetizer platter. Explanations about the experience and the wines were provided in English and Spanish, as there were many tourists present. The team—comprising the driver, guide, winemaker, and bartender—was very attentive and helpful. You could choose to sit inside or outside. I highly recommend this experience.

    A pleasant stroll, the opportunity to walk on the bridge was very enjoyable. Unfortunately, the vegetarian menu was disappointing: a starter with a tiny piece of beetroot and three raspberry halves that barely made it into a duel—not exactly what I expected from the menu. Luckily, there was unlimited bread... The desserts weren't of high quality: the "gourmet" plate was very average, the canelé was noteworthy, and as for the "lemon meringue tart," the pastry was so hard that you could only eat it by biting directly into the meringue with your fingers—not a very satisfying experience. The main course, however, was very good. The starter and main course of the Garonne menu were more substantial. If you're not vegetarian, you'll have a better chance of eating your fill.

    I cannot comment much as we left before starting. We were offered a table in a very bad position with the worst air conditioning ever. I tried to complain, but noone moved a finger (usually bordolais...
