Trains from Paris to Bordeaux

Built in pale stone along a bend of the Garonne, Bordeaux is the city of the south-west of France, with the vineyards of the Médoc, Saint-Émilion and the Graves around it and the Atlantic beaches beyond. The train from Paris runs through the Loire valley, Poitou and the Charente to reach it, and it is taken by wine visitors, by families heading for the coast at Arcachon, and by people who work between the capital and the south-west. The arrival at Saint-Jean is on the river's left bank, south of the centre.

About the Paris to Bordeaux train

The terminus for the south-west is on the Left Bank of Paris, and the search results name the station, so check them before you leave for it. Day and travellers go in before the search runs. Bordeaux to Paris is searched on its own here, so for a return, run that too and compare fares for your dates. Saint-Jean station is a tram ride or a long walk from the centre, along the river past the quays that have been turned into a promenade. The old city, with the Grand Théâtre, the Place de la Bourse and its reflecting pool, the cathedral and the shopping streets, lies along the left bank, and the Chartrons district of wine merchants' houses is to the north of it. Across the river the right bank is newer and quieter. Bordeaux's hotels on this page are a selection; the search lists the rest of the catalogue. Stay in the old centre or near the quays for the city itself, or near Saint-Jean if the vineyards are the plan and the station is the way out to them.
