But before you yell "Paris!" know that if you're planning to spend the rest of your life in France, you might want to do so in Bordeaux, the largest city of the country's southwestern region. In this city where urban life, nature, and culture converge, there is really nothing else you can ask for.

Touring the Vicinity

Found in the Aquitaine region in France, Bordeaux is a city surrounded by the preserved seaside, mountain forests, and a lot of vineyards. At the center, you'll find the metropolitan area that is dotted with commercial buildings, Bordeaux hotels, clubs, and other structures that separate it from the other parts of the city. All over, Bordeaux is a perfect mix of quaint provincial living and a lively and convenient city life.
If you're staying in the central area, everything will be at easy reach. The bay area is less than an hour drive away, parks and gardens are just around the corner, and essential establishments (for commodity, lifestyle, and leisure) are all complete and abundant. The city is also known for its great transportation system. Aside from eco-friendly options for around-the-city transportation, there are also great modes for inter-city travel. Trains and buses can take you straight to any hotel Calais and other French cities have in case you wish to go around the country.

What to Expect

Bordeaux is a nice city and it's not just a place you visit; it's a great place to settle down in. There are so many activities to indulge in in this wonderful city, and they are not only good for a one-time visit. Many of them are worthy of becoming part of a lifestyle, a lifestyle you can only enjoy while living in Bordeaux.
The wines are what make this city world-famous. Bordeaux is the world's capital for the wine industry. If that isn't inviting enough for you, then know that Bordeaux is also rich in delectable cuisines that range from local fresh seafood to irresistible desserts. There is no food and drink service offered by Lyon hotels and other fancy places in France that can compete to the experience Bordeaux provides its citizens on a daily basis.  Aside from the fascinating wine culture, the city is also popular for its colorful nightlife. Starting Thursday nights, the streets of Bordeaux light up with the many music bars, restaurants, and wine cellars competing eagerly for the attention of the lively evening crowd.
