Second seating Posted March 5, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Fellow travelers, Arriving in the Bordeaux airport in May, should we get a taxi or arrange a car service? Thank you, Second seating (not a River cruise Windstar) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canal archive Posted March 5, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Second seating Bordeaux Marignax airport is really not that far from the river, we had the transport arranged but I would have thought a taxi would be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pontac Posted March 5, 2023 #3 Share Posted March 5, 2023 (edited) I've twice got a taxi from the rank at Bordeaux airport. I was staying at a hotel by the river bank. The aitport is on the edge of the city and the journeys were swift and not expensive. I'd suggest getting a taxi whan you arrive as it's one less thing to arrange or worry about and it doesn't matter if your flight lands early or late. Leaving arrrivals hall note that you walk through a vineyard on the way out to the taxi rank. Edited March 5, 2023 by pontac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canal archive Posted March 5, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Walking through a vineyard sounds about right for Bordeaux! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caradara Posted March 5, 2023 #5 Share Posted March 5, 2023 We went to the sign that said "TAXI" outside arrivals and took the first one in line. Our hotel was in a pedestrian zone and he stopped outside it and carried our luggage to the hotel entrance. The hotel said that he was not an official taxi or he would have had the code to drive onto the pedestrian zone (they lower the barricades). It was fine but I don't know how we were to know the difference? Reasonably priced with a meter running. No English and we have no French but I had written out the hotel name and address and gave it to him. We had the hotel call a taxi to take us to the pier and he drove up to the hotel entrance and carried our luggage down the steps at the pier.
