What to expect
You'll move through Bordeaux on foot, following app directions on your phone. The route weaves past old town architecture, through wine-growing terrain, and into Saint-Émilion's cobbled lanes. Audio narration provides context about buildings, history, and local significance as you walk. Pacing is entirely yours—linger at cafés, skip ahead, or revisit spots. The app handles navigation so you won't need paper maps. Most sections suit all fitness levels, though some streets are steep in Saint-Émilion.
Good to know
Download the app before you leave—offline mode ensures exploration even without data. Bring a charged phone, headphones, and comfortable walking shoes. Public transport connects key points. Museums, châteaux, and attractions charge separate entry fees. Not ideal if you have serious mobility restrictions; ground is uneven in places.
