Travelling with children requires more planning than solo travellers hoping to vacation or backpack around the world. Luckily, Bordeaux is a family-friendly city, and there are tons of awesome activities that will make everyone in the family happy and keep them entertained while visiting Bordeaux.

1. Institut Culturel Bernard Magrez

Art Gallery, Museum

The Institut Culturel Bernard Magrez, a fabulous institute dedicated to the finest contemporary art is the ideal place to stimulate children’s creativity. Sign them up for a workshop running every Sunday at 3 pm where they will be asked to produce artworks based on the institute’s current exhibition. This workshop is not only open to children but adults too, and it offers a great opportunity to have a wonderful time as a family.

Brunch and fun on the Garonne’s right bank

Start off the day on a right note with a large breakfast at Darwin Eco-système. Sit in one of the comfy sofas and have an amazing brunch in a unique environment. After that, cross the road and head to the less frequented but just as nice Parc aux Angéliques or Jardin Botanique.
