Bordeaux is at the heart of the Bordeaux Métropole, France's sixth largest, and home to just over a million people.Coming into Roman rule in 60 BC, Bordeaux has a varied and fascinating history. The 18th Century is considered to be the Golden Age of the city with Victor Hugo declaring it a combination of Versailles and Antwerp and was Baron Hausmann's model for the rebuilding of Paris.Nowadays, Bordeaux is famous across the world for being the capital of the wine industry. Every year the wine industry generates over 14 billion euros for the local economy. Aside from wine tours, visitors come to Bordeaux for its fantastic architecture and relaxed cafe culture.&nbsp;<h2>Gay Rights in France</h2>For gay rights in France, please see our <a href="https://www.travelgay.com/essential-guide-to-paris/">Gay Paris City Guide</a> page.&nbsp;<h2>Gay Scene</h2>Despite having a relatively modest selection of <a href="https://www.travelgay.com/bordeaux-gay-saunas/">exclusively gay venues</a>, Bordeaux is a liberal and open-minded city. Gay customers are welcome in all venues. A large student population means that there is a friendly youthful energy to the city.There is an annual gay pride parade held in June that is celebrated by many in the city. There is also an LGBT film festival, Cinémarges that organises film screenings of home-grown and international queer cinema throughout the year.&nbsp;<h2>Getting to Bordeaux</h2>By planeBordeaux–Mérignac Airport (BOD) is located 12km west of Bordeaux and is France's 6th largest airport in terms of passenger numbers. It mostly offers services to and from destinations in Europe and North Africa but there are seasonal services to destinations in North America.An express bus runs from the airport to the centre of Bordeaux in 30 minutes. A single journey costs €8 but there are discounts available. It runs from around 8.30am to 8.30pm Monday to Friday, 8.45 to 6pm on Saturdays and 9.45am to 6.30pm on Sundays.A local bus from outside of arrivals offers a cheaper route into town, with single tickets valid for an hour starting at €1.50.

Tickets can be purchased from either the driver or the machine at the stop.Taxis can be taken from the airport and the journey takes around 25 minutes.

Singles start at €1.50 but you can buy multi-trip tickets or daily and weekly passes to get discounts.

Bus services run until around 9pm with some later running evening services.By taxiThere are several 24 hour taxi-ranks located at key-locations of Bordeaux. Many locals pre-order taxis or use taxi apps like Uber to save time and costs at busy times.By bikeBordeaux's flat surface makes the city an ideal location to cycle. There are many cycle lanes and recently a cycle share scheme was introduced. It is worth noting, however, that you will need to pay a €200 deposit by card before you can use the bikes.&nbsp;<h2>Where to Stay in Bordeaux</h2>Bordeaux has a great choice of hotels to suit all budgets.

The ECHR rejected that such a decision was in breach of the European Convention on Human Rights, stating that, given the relevance of such a change to the otherwise binary French legal system, it was for the French state itself to reform its legislation beforehand. However, it acknowledged that future developments in Council of Europe member states could change its interpretation.
