Best Place to Stay in Bordeaux

Quinconces - Looking for an incredibly central location that is bustling with sensational local eateries and bars? Quinconces is just what the doctor ordered. Bordering Bordeaux’s largest park and hugging the Garonne River, there will be no regrets about setting up camp here and soaking up everything the city has to offer.

Matches will be hosted at the Stade de Bordeaux which is only 25 minutes away from Quinconces. If you are staying in the city centre, just board a tram that will take you to the Stade Matmut Atlantique stop and you won’t go astray. Bordeaux is quite a small city so it is easy to get around and the tram is very accessible.
