Playing in Bordeaux
Bordeaux reads as a succession of pale stone façades lined up along a wide river. The quays, the place de la Bourse and its water mirror, then the quieter streets of the Chartrons, a former district of wine merchants, make up flat and varied ground. A trail game here alternates a strolling mood with the search for clues in architectural details, with the tram linking the areas. It is easy to find your way around, even without knowing the town.
The centre is flat and easy to walk. To reach the Chartrons or the Cité du Vin, include a tram or bike trip in your schedule.
Three route ideas in Bordeaux
From the quays to the Chartrons warehouses
A heritage route to understand the wine trade: the line of the quays, former warehouses, merchants' mansions. Teams note details on the façades and rebuild a code.
Cité du Vin and the banks of the Garonne
A riverside outing, designed for a team or a family: stops along the quays, observation tests that are easy to share among several people, and the Cité du Vin as the finish.
An evening with friends around the Bourse
At dusk, the place de la Bourse and the water mirror serve as the meeting point for a game between teams: quick riddles, photos to take, scores compared at the finish.
