France
Bordeaux
Bordeaux is located near the Atlantic coast in southwestern France and in the central part of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. It is a world heritage city that realized that the environment was not the best 30 years ago.
Just 30 years ago, Bordeaux’s environment was anything but desirable. Car exhausts colored the facades black, and the air was heavy and polluted. But today, the city has transformed, making it one of Europe’s most environmentally friendly cities. With trams replacing the old cars, the street environment and atmosphere have become much healthier. This change has not only improved the quality of life for the residents of Bordeaux but has also made the city an attractive destination for tourists.
Organic Bordeaux wines
When you visit Bordeaux, France, you must not miss the market hall at Bacalan. Here, you can enjoy local cheeses, aperitifs, oysters, and wines of the highest quality. The city really lives up to its title as the “European Capital of Smart Tourism” by investing in locally grown and organic dishes and wines on the menu.
For those who want to do more than just eat and drink, there are plenty of activities to choose from. Why not buy eco-labeled clothes, shoes, or books during your stay? On the right side of the river, you will find the old military barracks, which now house lively bars with cool DJs, creating a cool atmosphere in a historic setting.
Bordeaux has become a city with something for everyone, from foodies to party night owls. Visitors can experience the city in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way while enjoying Bordeaux’s rich cultural and historical heritage.
