Climate: temperate-oceanic

Filled with character and a rich heritage, Bordeaux is a city filled with mostly older buildings and not modern skyscrapers. This means that the rooftop bars in the city are not that high in altitude. But on the other hand they don't need to be, as they still offer panoramic views over the city and the river Garonne. Found in the different districts of the city center, the Bordeaux rooftop bars is a great spot for both sunny lunches, romantic dinners and (in many cases), fun nights out.
