Bordeaux is a lovely, historic little city in the South-West of France. With its proximity to the sea and famous for its wine regions, the city is a destination for many tourists from around the globe, but as well for French people themselves. Many even call it 'Little Paris', because it's as atmospheric and the architecture is very alike, just the stress is less with a smaller number of cars and buzzing sounds.

As it's a university city and a well-known location for Erasmus exchange, there is many young people, cool bars, modern cafés and restaurants. There is a river and as it's the case with many cities, life is centered mainly on the left river bank. There is a nice artsy area and some projects appearing on the right side, but that's rather an exception.
