PRICE: $266
per person

 

Step away from the city and into the pages of French history with this half-day escape from Bordeaux to the mighty Citadel of Blaye. Nestled above the wide Gironde estuary, this hidden gem offers military architecture, sweeping river views, and a quiet countryside atmosphere without the crowds.

Begin with a relaxed drive through the northern Gironde region, passing vineyards and river scenery on the way to Blaye Citadel. Once there, have time to walk along the walls, explore the interior alleys, and take in the fortress’s commanding view over the water.

Afterward, enjoy a break in Blaye Town Center, the peaceful town below the citadel, where you can grab a drink or explore the small town center.

If you’d like to continue the experience, your driver/guide can also take you to the Village of Bourg-sur-Gironde, a nearby riverside village known for its medieval charm and peaceful atmosphere.
