Sneakers at dawn

Bordeaux holds its marathon every year in March, and the riverside is perfect for a run on the “Two Bridge Round”. Just over 4 magical miles to get your training in when the sun comes up.
Down on the water
![1-Paddle](http://images.ctfassets.net/zeaejvyq9bhj/1OnWhC1GCkiq0ooQySkMSM/f4803c76fe1dff5dc2de7440850d7886/1-Paddle.jpg?w=700&h=300&q=90&fl=progressive&fit=fill)
Paddleboard, kayak... Throughout the year, Marins de la Lune organises watersport outings on the river.
Mirror, mirror on the... square?
![3-Miroir](http://images.ctfassets.net/zeaejvyq9bhj/61WYZgbQpGwEMQIK4giAOu/59af069a49315921f3c47ed538d096e6/3-Miroir.jpg?w=700&h=300&q=90&fl=progressive&fit=fill)
Definitely the most photographed spot in Bordeaux. Created in 2006 by the landscape artist Michel Corajoud, and the fountain designer Jean-Max Llorca, and a Modern World Heritage Site, the Miroir d'eau (Water Mirror) alternates between ephemeral reflections of light and mist.
Anchors aweigh!

Bordeaux is also a port, where 20-30 cruise liners moor every year between Place de Quinconces and Les Chartrons. You will also find river cruisers to take you on a tour of the vineyards and heritage sites.
A skater’s (and photographer’s) delight
![7-Skate Park](http://images.ctfassets.net/zeaejvyq9bhj/1zxKA8bb20sG0YK2qAAEIc/afa53dc9a14650ec049de57ae1fd79eb/7-Skate_Park.jpg?w=700&h=300&q=90&fl=progressive&fit=fill)
The Colbert Skate Park, opposite Hangar 14, is one of the largest of its kind, and paradise for skaters, rollerbladers, and even BMX bikers.
Wine, a living art
![Cité du Vin et Garonne](http://images.ctfassets.net/zfxytrk6nf7m/27e2rX7IbDfxwUkjZ0FxkE/e77445bd45a6e44b5d2606205568b4ef/Marie_Tchin.png?w=700&h=300&q=90&fl=progressive&fit=fill)
A place dedicated entirely to wine. A journey spanning eras and civilizations. And a panoramic tasting 35m up
A break in no hurry at all
![9-Les Chantiers Garonne](http://images.ctfassets.net/zeaejvyq9bhj/2Fbg3VbsPu4WwU4qiq2EoO/0e0b3b4b8365a6892a982f61acaa294c/9-Les_Chantiers_Garonne.jpg?w=700&h=300&q=90&fl=progressive&fit=fill)
At the Chantiers Garonne you can sample a Darwin Beer, steaks, and seafood from your chaise longue, with your feet doodling in the sand…
Alternative, you say?
![10-Darwin](http://images.ctfassets.net/zeaejvyq9bhj/2PTUchf0P6KIMwOCCgEScE/b64e56e4687a3d8200e6ba780307aa00/10-Darwin.jpg?w=700&h=300&q=90&fl=progressive&fit=fill)
Darwin is an alternative space, an environmental and activist venue occupying the old Niel barracks. Graffiti on the walls, skate park, brunch at the Bistrot-Réfectoire, and an extensive organic store... You can also get a tattoo or buy a motorbike!
Get the night off to a good start
