What you can expect

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.

- Fully Customizable & Private – Your driver is happy to adjust timing and stops based on your preferences.

- Pickup and drop off included with a professional, English-speaking driver from Bordeaux.

The journey begins with a relaxed drive through the northern Gironde region, passing vineyards and river scenery on the way to Blaye Citadel. Once there, you’ll 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 can also take you to Village of Bourg-sur-Gironde, a nearby riverside village known for its medieval charm and peaceful atmosphere.
