Bordeaux is an ancient city located in southwest France on the Garonne River. The city is built on a bend of the river, and is divided into two parts: the right bank to the east and left bank in the west. Although students at a French school in Bourdeaux will find that- geographically speaking- the city is large, most of its highlights are located in the center of the city, and easily accesible by foot. Visit bustling Sainte-Catherine street downtown, climb the tower of Saint-Michel and see a beautiful birds-eye view of the city, or just escape from the city at the Jardin Botanique. Students interested in studying French courses in Bordeaux will also enjoy taking in the great nightlife in Bordeaux when classes are through for the day. It would be a shame to visit Bourdeaux and not experience their world class wines; with daily wine tours of the different vineyards (Medoc, Sauternes, Graves) and other local areas, this trip can not be missed!
