What’s the best time of year to visit Bordeaux?

Spring (April to June) and early autumn (September to October) are ideal, offering mild weather and fewer crowds. The spring harvest season showcases new wine releases, while autumn brings harvest festivals. Summer can be hot, especially in July and August, but the city hosts many outdoor events. Winter is quieter, with lower accommodation costs, but some attractions may have limited hours. Checking local event calendars helps you plan around festivals or markets.
