Last weekend, my second weekend in France, I took a trip to Bordeaux. In this blogpost I will share all my tips for the best activities that do not cost too much. The train from Chalais to Bordeaux costs just a little over ten euros. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hostel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I stayed at Auberge de jeunesse Hostel 20 in Bordeaux. I would definitely recommend this hostel for young (solo) travellers. The atmosphere was very social and it was extremely easy to meet new friends from all over the world. I spent most of my days with people I met at the hostel and at night we went out in Bordeaux with a big group. If you decide to book this hostel, book directly on the website. Their most basic option costs less than thirty euros a night.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Free must-sees<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You could spend weeks in Bordeaux and still find new places to visit. I tried to visit as many of these places as possible in just four days. If you have a short time in Bordeaux, I would definitely recommend you visit the Bordeaux Cathedral, Le Jardin Public and take a walk along the river. These three sights will give you an overview of what Bordeaux has to offer. All these activities will cost you nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Affordable activities and museums<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have more time in Bordeaux, there are a few beautiful museums you could visit. I particularly recommend the Mus\u00e9e des Beaux-Arts. It is a small, but impressive museum which houses a collection of European artworks. The mus\u00e9e d\u2019Aquitaine and Mus\u00e9um de Bordeaux – sciences et nature are also very interesting if you are interested in local or natural history respectively. All these museums offer excellent prices for students. Tickets are around three euros.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also visited many amazing and cheap restaurants during my time in Bordeaux. I will share these tips in my next blog. I hope you decide to visit Bordeaux when staying at La Giraudi\u00e8re.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
