Parc Bordelais

About

Parc Bordelais is one of Bordeaux’s most beloved green spaces, offering 28 hectares of landscaped beauty in the city’s Caudéran district. Created in the late 19th century, it was designed as a romantic park with sweeping lawns, shaded avenues, and a picturesque lake. Families are drawn to its extensive playgrounds, miniature train, and animal enclosures where children can meet goats, ducks, and peacocks. The park also features a rose garden and remarkable specimens of exotic trees, making it a living arboretum. With its blend of leisure and nature, Parc Bordelais is both a peaceful retreat and a lively gathering place, cherished by locals for weekend strolls, picnics, and seasonal festivities. It remains a vital part of Bordeaux’s heritage, combining elegance, biodiversity, and community spirit in one enchanting setting.
