Travel Note
Two shuttles will be waiting to take all guests to the venue from the corner where the InterContinental Hotel meets Allees de Tourny. The shuttles will leave promptly at 2:15pm, so please allow plenty of time to reach the pick-up location. If you miss the shuttle, you can taxi or Uber to Chateau Gassies (please only use this method as a back up plan!) For your convenience, use the link to map to the exact shuttle pick-up spot. QR codes will also be available to scan at the welcome party for easy access to directions. For the return, shuttles will start running every 30 minutes from 11:30pm, with the last shuttle departing at 3:00am. Please plan to use the shuttle service to return, as it will be very difficult to get an Uber or taxi from the venue. Throughout your stay in Bordeaux, you can also leverage Uber and taxis. In our experience, both methods of car transportation are easy and reliable getting from the airport, train station and around town. The city is also quite walkable.
Flight
Bordeaux's airport is a 25 min journey from both the wedding venue and the center of town near the suggested accommodation. In order to get the best airline rate, we recommend starting to monitor flight options in mid-November. You can find flights into BOD from most major European cities - check out the FAQ tab for extra info and feel free to reach out with any questions!
Train
Bordeaux's train station is approximately a 20 min drive to the wedding venue and a 15 minute drive into the city center. If you plan to spend some time in Paris before or after the wedding weekend, you can take a train between both cities that takes approximately 2hr and 15min. There’s an article with helpful information for navigating the train system between Paris and Bordeaux linked below.

Below we have suggested a few hotel recommendations. Unfortunately, we do not expect to have a hotel block, however the best rates will be advertised on the hotel's website.
