Public transportation in Bordeaux
Hiya Armand, I use the Tram in Bordeaux everyday and I have to say I think it's a great system. From what I can tell, before the city had the tram it was car and bus central. Within the old city you can quickly understand that this would have ... Read More

G'day Nathan, Nice to see another aussie has graced the sunny shores of Bordeaux. I presume there are a few aussies and kiwi's around town but from my reckoning most could be students... maybe not but I haven't met many in my 4 years here! Would ... Read More

For my point of view living outside the city like Vicki is more ideal. Not only will you get more for your money out of the center of the city, you will also have the chilled out space of the country side. And really, a lot of people whinge about ... Read More

I would image the more you spoke French before you arrived the smoother the transition would be. Keeping in mind if you had a good grasp of the lingo the easier it would be to set yourself looking for a job, apartment, etc. Once you arrived and if ... Read More
