    With its elegant architecture, active arts scene and a busy nightlife, Bordeaux is a stimulating and authentically French environment for your experience of France and French life. The college arranges a variety of leisure activities to assist students become familiar with Bordeaux, the local region and the French culture.

    Discover some of the better-known attractions such as the Modern Art Museum, Arcachon Bay and the Dune du Pyla (the highest sand dune in Europe), St Emilion vineyard and old Bordeaux.

    Many students make their own plans to explore the city. The heart of which is located between Place Gambetta and the Garonne River. The Musee d’Aquitaine chronicles the history of Bordeaux and its region for the last 25,000 years. The Modern Art Museum exhibits 21st century work and established names, such as Jackson Pollock. The main shopping area is east of Place Gambetta, along the pedestrianised Rue Porte Dijeaux. A “must see” is the Galerie Bordelaise, a 19th century shopping arcade, which makes you feel you have stepped back in time. There are plenty of luxury shops around Cours Georges Clemenceau; Louis Vuitton Cartier, Hermes and Charles Jourdan, to name a few. Alternatively, why not sample the colour and sounds of the markets in Bordeaux: St Michel, Colbert, Capucins, Le Bouscat.

    For those who want to explore Bordeaux’s nightlife we recommend the cafes and restaurants of Place de la Victoire, the Place de Parlement or the Rue de Parlement Sainte Catherine. Why not sample the various night clubs along Quai de Paludate.
