Where would you like to stop next? Visit Bordeaux, A town known for liberally poured hospitality might seem a good bet, so it’s no wonder Bordeaux was a popular halt on the pilgrims’ trail. By the late 20th century, however, the city suffered from a grittier reputation. When current mayor, Alain Juppé, was elected ten years ago, his then day job as Prime Minister allowed him to make expensive changes. A new tramway was built, grand but grubby buildings were cleaned and the docks reclaimed.

Most tourist Bordeaux Hôtels are close to the railway station (that is, close to the Quais). There are some luxury hotels close to Gambetta square and Quinconces square, which are really nice but rather expensive.

Bordeaux has a recently-built youth hostel, close to the railway station, which can be worth a visit for a few nights - remember to book in advance.
