About Gironde

Named for the enormous Gironde Estuary, Gironde sits on France’s south-western coast, and is famed for its lush landscape, studded with world-class vineyards and gorgeous châteaux. Dominated by beautiful Bordeaux, this is a superb destination for wine lovers, foodies and history buffs alike. Accommodation options range from tranquil B&Bs to hip boutique hotels and indulgent châteaux. Those on our list of the best places to stay in Gironde have been carefully selected for their exceptional style, location and amenities — ideal for you next French escape!

Most visitors will inevitably flock to Bordeaux. Perched on the banks of the Garonne River, this striking city promises fantastic museums, impressive architecture — it’s a UNESCO Heritage Site — and a wonderfully buzzy evening scene with great restaurants and bars to sample. Surrounded by wineries, the city is also well-placed for tours and tastings, cycling excursions, horse riding and hikes. If you’re eager to base yourself somewhere smaller, yet still wine-focused, look to Saint-Émilion, Pauillac or Sauternes.

For a relaxing coastal escape, we’d recommend the golden sands of Arcachon Bay, close to Europe’s largest sand dune. You’ll find hip seaside hotels with excellent eateries as well as laid-back guesthouses in the area. This part of France is especially popular during the summer months, so book your room at one of the best places to stay in Gironde well in advance!
