Our unique day trip from Bordeaux to Lourdes includes the visit of the sanctuary as well as the most important sites linked to Bernadette Soubirous. Free time for personal discovery. [description] => <p>Follow the Footsteps of a Saint Through This Prized Pilgrimage Town</p><p><b>Meet your English speaking local guide</b></p><p>Depart for the town of Lourdes on this full day trip from Bordeaux. In the morning we will come and pick you up at your centrally located hotel in Bordeaux. Meet your English speaking local guide who will go over the itinerary and program of the day. Then it will be time to board your premium air conditioned minivan and depart for Lourdes.</p><p><b>Arrive in the town of Lourdes</b></p><p>Following the reports that Our Lady of Lourdes had appeared to Bernadette Soubirous on a total of eighteen occasions in 1858, Lourdes has developed into a major place of Roman Catholic pilgrimage and of miraculous healing. The 150th Jubilee of the first marian apparition took place on 11 February 2008 with an outdoor mass attended by more than ten thousand pilgrims.</p><p>Today, around six million people visit Lourdes each year. Due to the consistent stream of pilgrims and tourists, the sanctuary of our lady of Lourdes has become the second most important center of tourism in France, following Paris. It is now the third most important international Catholic pilgrimage and religious site.</p><p><b>Visit the Sanctuary</b></p><p>Upon arrival, your private tour will begin with the visit of the Sanctuaries of Lourdes. The ensemble is the largest pilgrimage site of the town. Here, all the major churches are located as well as the grotto where the apparitions of the Virgin Mary took place. Visits include the Crypt, the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, the Basilica of the Rosary and the impressive underground Basilica Saint Pius X.</p><p><b>Stop at the Grotto</b></p><p>Walk towards the Grotto of the apparitions and enter beneath the rock. See the spring and the famous statue of Our Lady of Lourdes, an unforgettable experience. The Grotto is the site of the extraordinary events which took place in 1858. The niche where the statue is placed marks the place where the Virgin Mary most often stood. Iit is like a window that opens onto the kingdom of God.</p><p>The Grotto is a place of prayer, hope, peace, respect, unity and silence. When passing through the Grotto or standing in front of it, each person has his or her own personal understanding of what it means. There, it is possible to fill bottles of the water of Lourdes and take time to meditate near the Grotto.</p><p><b>Free time for lunch (at own expense) in Lourdes</b></p><p>After the morning visit, it will be time for lunch. There are numerous opportunities in Lourdes so don't hesitate to ask your guide for suggestions or recommendations.</p><p><b>On the footsteps of Bernadette</b></p><p>Your full day guided tour continues in the afternoon as you follow your guide on the footsteps of Bernadette. During this walking tour in town, visit the house of Bernadette – the Boly Mill and then reach the ‘Cachot’, the small room where the family lived in the most difficult times.</p><p><b>Visit the Boly Mill</b></p><p>Bernadette Soubirous was born in this mill house on the 7th of January of 1844. She lived in the water-mill with her parents for ten years. At that time, it was part of the numerous water-mills located on the edges of the river called “the Lapacca” and flowing into the river Gave de Pau.</p><p>Inside you will discover the bedroom where Bernadette was born, the kitchen and the ancient water-mill with its grindstones. After 10 years of a happy life in the Mill, a set of tragic events will force the family to leave the Mill, not able to pay the rent anymore.</p><p><b>Visit the Cachot</b></p><p>By 1857, the Soubirous family fell on hard times and were obliged to move from the Boly Mill to what was a former prison, 'Le Cachot' (the cell). This small 16 square meters room (170 square feet) became the home of the family that was composed of the parents, Bernadette, her sister and her two brothers. It is at this time that the apparitions took place the first of which takes place on February 11, 1858. </p><p>After the visit, it will be time to return to Bordeaux and that will be the end of our services. Please note that this tour requires 2 adults minimum to operate.</p><p><b>The baths</b></p><p>It is possible to take part in a bathing experience in Lourdes. “Go and drink in the spring and wash yourself there!” These words of the Virgin Mary to Bernadette during one of the apparitions inspired the creation of the baths near the Grotto in which the pilgrims are immersed. Whether a believer or not, you are all invited to this very profound experience. Enter a bath filled with water from the spring that flows in the Grotto of the apparitions and experience something unique.</p><p>If you would like to experience the bathing in Lourdes, please let our team of travel experts know and they will organize your Lourdes travel program accordingly. Please note that opting for the bathing experience in Lourdes requires some organization.</p><p></p><p>The bathing experience takes place in the early afternoon and ideally you will need to be there early to be certain to participate. On some days, the queue can be quite long. There are separate waiting lines for women and men as well as bathing cubicles.</p> [terms] => [advertisedPrice] => 110.00000 [quantityRequiredMin] => 1 [quantityRequiredMax] => 8 [latitude] => 44.8416106 [longitude] => -0.5810938 [confirmMode] => MANUAL [dateUpdated] => 2025-04-08 09:44:36 [product_code_compta] => 706110 [product_package] => [product_seo_title] => A Private Day Trip from Bordeaux to Lourdes Sanctuary [product_seo_desc] => Private full-day tour from Bordeaux to Lourdes: Visit the Lourdes Sanctuary and follow in the footsteps of Bernadette Soubirous with an expert English-speaking guide.

With its 10,600 hectares of vineyards and an annual production of approximately 50 million liters, this region is a haven for wine lovers. It primarily produces red wines, utilizing grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. Some white wines are also produced under the generic Bordeaux AOC classification.</p></li><li><p>Saint Emilion: Situated on a hill along the Dordogne Valley, the medieval village of Saint Emilion holds the distinction of being the first wine region to achieve World Heritage status in 1999. Its history dates back to the 2nd century when Romans introduced grape cultivation. The village derives its name from Emilian, a monk who sought refuge in one of the natural caves and later became a central figure in the area's religious and winemaking development. Saint Emilion wines, known for their robust flavors and rich earthy notes, are predominantly made from Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.</p></li><li><p>Graves: Bordering the Garonne river, the Graves Bordeaux wine region encompasses sub-regions like Pessac Léognan, Sauternes, and Barsac (known for its sweet wines). This region's distinguishing feature is its intensely gravelly soil. While Chateau Haut Brion was included in the 1855 Médoc classification, the Graves appellation itself received its classification in 1953 for red wines and 1959 for white wines. Graves is renowned as the birthplace of claret, and its wines showcase grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, and Muscadelle. Prominent wineries in the area include La Mission Haut Brion, Domaine de Chevalier, Château Haut Bailly, and Château Bouscaut, many of which are classified as Crus Classes wines.</p></li></ol><p>Indulge in a remarkable wine tour experience and discover the captivating charm of Bordeaux's three major wine regions: Médoc, Saint Emilion, and Graves.

Climb Dune du Pilat, Europe’s Largest Sand Dune. Reach Cap Ferret by boat or take an optional Pinasse du Bassin Boat ride. Taste Arcachon Oysters. [description] => <p><b>Drive from Bordeaux to Arcachon</b></p><p>Arcachon is a popular bathing location on the Atlantic coast 55 kilometers (34 miles) southwest of Bordeaux. It has fine sandy beaches, a mild climate and the town itself is dotted with belle époque architecture making it a popular destination far from the bustle of Bordeaux.</p><p>The town of Arcachon is only 150 years old. Not long before May 2nd 1857, when Emperor Napoleon III signed its official “birth certificate”, it was just a pine forest, oaks and strawberry trees (arbutus), with no road links, and home – mostly when the weather was expected to be warm, and more in wood huts than in real houses – to fewer than 400 people, mostly fishermen and peasants. In earlier years, when some hygienists began to recommend sea bathing, three sea establishments were laid out by some entrepreneurs especially for the Bordeaux bourgeoisie.</p><p>At its southern entrance from the Atlantic Ocean, Arcachon Bay is crowned by Europe’s largest sand dune, the Dune de Pilat (or du Pyla), nearly 3 kilometres long, 500 metres wide, reaching 107 metres in height, and moving inland at a rate of 5 metres a year.</p><p><b>Reach the Bay of Arcachon</b> </p><p>Today depart from Bordeaux and head towards this land locked sea known as “The Bay of Arcachon”. Upon arrival, discover the oyster sheds that are laid in rows one next to each other and that belong to the local oyster farmers that make this destination so well known to all French oyster aficionados. Here you will have the opportunity to taste fresh Arguin Banc accompanied with fresh baguette, lightly salted butter and a glass of white wine of course.</p><p>For lunch, your guide will certainly suggest one of the many high quality sea food restaurants located along the shore. There are also fantastic restaurants facing the sand beaches that can be booked by your guide in the morning and that really bring out the natural beauty of Arcachon Bay. </p><p><b>In the afternoon a number of options are possible:</b> </p><p>Option 1 - Head to Pilat and climb the dune. </p><p>After a short drive from Arcachon town, reach the highest sand dune of Europe located in the small town of Pilat sur Mer. During the summer season, a staircase is put in place so that it is easier to climb the Dune without damaging the area. This means you will have to make some effort to reach the top as there are 170 stairs to climb. Once at the top, discover the natural beauty of the landscape and admire one of the most stunning views of the Bay and the pine forest in the back.</p><p>Option 2 - A traditional Private Pinasse Boat Tour on the Bay </p><p>Book an optional unique boat ride on board a local “Pinasse”, the traditional boats of the Bay of Arcachon. All built out of wood, mention of the boats date back to the 1500’s at a time when they were used only for fishing. This pleasant ride will have you see the numerous oyster farms and admire ‘Birds Island’ with its “Tchanqués” huts built on wooden piles. You can also include some oyster tasting, picnic & wine to enhance your experience.</p><p>Any of these options can be chosen during the booking process. Tour returns to the Bordeaux area at the end of our services. </p> [terms] => [advertisedPrice] => 120.00000 [quantityRequiredMin] => 1 [quantityRequiredMax] => 8 [latitude] => 44.8416106 [longitude] => -0.5810938 [confirmMode] => MANUAL [dateUpdated] => 2024-12-05 14:48:35 [product_code_compta] => 706110 [product_package] => [product_seo_title] => Arcachon Bay & Pilat Sand Dune Private Day Trip from Bordeaux France [product_seo_desc] => Private Arcachon & Pilat Sand Dune tour: Taste fresh oysters and Bordeaux wines, and book a Pinasse boat ride with expert English-speaking local guides.

Tour of Armagnac Distilleries & tasting with local guide, expert in Brandy [description] => <p><b>Discover The Delights Of The Distinctive Armagnac Brandy</b></p><p>Armagnac is a type of brandy distilled from wine made from a blend of grapes. The resulting spirit is then aged in oak barrels before release. Today participate in a private tour to visit several family owned wineries where you will be shown and explained the distilling process followed by a comparative tasting. We will also have you visit one of the most traditional villages of the region.</p><p>After having picked you up from your centrally located accommodation in Bordeaux, let us take you to Gascony, one of the most delicious corners of France where Armagnac is produced. This full day tour will enchant those of you who wish to discover one of the most authentic areas of France. </p><p>Dotted with pristine medieval villages, blessed with delicious food & wines, the region has retained its rural heritage and traditions as if frozen in time. Unknown to most tourists, it is the perfect destination for those of you that wish to experience France off the beaten path.</p><p><b>First, A Visit To A Local Winery Of Bas-Armagnac region</b></p><p>Our first stop will be in one of the most famous Armagnac wine making estate. Armagnac is the oldest ‘eau-de-vie’ in France. Known since the mid 1400’s, it was the Dutch that made it popular under the distilled form that we can still taste today. </p><p>Upon arrival, begin the visit with an introduction to the history of the family. You will be explained how today, the owners roam the estates on the best terroirs, that of the Bas Armagnac and its tawny sands, to select, cultivate and bottle the most beautiful discoveries. </p><p>Around forty estates contribute to an extraordinary collection that complete and perfect their ageing in the family owned cellars. Then, take part in a commented tasting session so as to better understand what the ‘Grands Assemblages’ are all about.</p><p><b>Then, Discover The Village Of Labastide D’Armagnac</b></p><p>After your visit, head towards one of the most beautiful villages of the area. Labastide d’Armagnac was founded at the end of the 13th century by Bernard VI, Count of Armagnac, in a period when the region was under English rule. The village, built around the Place Royale, named in honor of the king of England, has maintained its architectural design and medieval fascination fully intact. </p><p>Categorized as a fortified village, constructed around a harmonious village square, bordered by colorful houses, arches, porticos and colonnades, Labastide d’Armagnac is recognized as one the best conserved of all the bastides. </p><p>Follow your guide as you stroll through the narrow streets of the village and are explained what a Bastide is all about and why these villages were built in those days. For lunch ask your guide for restaurant suggestions. This might be a good time to taste the local aperitif named Floc de Gascogne which is a mix of young wine with young Armagnac and needs to be served very fresh.</p><p><b>Finally, end the day with a final tasting</b></p><p>Only a short distance from Labastide d’Armagnac, Chateau Garreau is next on our itinerary. Here, the fertile soil, the century old cellars and amazing stills (dating from 1919) are just a few of the components that allow the winery to obtain an incomparable taste and personality to the Armagnacs produced. </p><p>Before tasting Armagnac, you will also have the opportunity to visit the winemakers & Alembic museums that house tools used in the vineyard and century old stills that are still in use today. After the visit and tasting, return to Bordeaux.</p> [terms] => [advertisedPrice] => 170.00000 [quantityRequiredMin] => 2 [quantityRequiredMax] => 10 [latitude] => 44.84387307669 [longitude] => -0.57476734597169 [confirmMode] => MANUAL [dateUpdated] => 2025-06-12 14:29:22 [product_code_compta] => 706110 [product_package] => [product_seo_title] => Day Trip from Bordeaux to Armagnac Distilleries & Tasting Private Tour [product_seo_desc] => Private Armagnac Distillery Tour & Tastings from Bordeaux.

[description] => <p><b>Discover the Wines of Sauternes region of Bordeaux</b></p><p>The Sauternes wine region is famous for the high quality sweet white wines that are produced here. The most famous winery of the region is Chateau d’Yquem that was classified as a Premier Grand Cru Classé in the 1855 classification of Bordeaux wines. Sauternes wines are made in great majority with Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes to which are added in much lesser amounts Muscadelle and Sauvignon Gris.</p><p>The wines of Sauternes are produced thanks to the action of a fungus, Botrytis Cinerea that causes the grapes to rot. This process is called the noble rot when it comes to take place on healthy grapes and under a favorable climate.</p><p>The local climate of Sauternes during the summer time is usually composed of morning mist followed by warm and dry afternoons which has the effect to dry the grapes, reduce the water content and concentrate the sugar. The result is the making of an intensely sweet, gold colored wine with strong aromas of honeysuckle, blossom and stone. </p><p><b>From Bordeaux, reach Château d'Yquem & the Sauternes wine region</b></p><p>Today, we will come and pick you up at your hotel in Bordeaux.

The most famous winery of the region is Chateau d’Yquem that was classified as a Premier Grand Cru Classé in the 1855 classification of Bordeaux wines. Sauternes wines are made in great majority with Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes to which are added in much lesser amounts Muscadelle and Sauvignon Gris.</p><p>The wines of Sauternes are produced thanks to the action of a fungus, Botrytis Cinerea that causes the grapes to rot. This process is called the noble rot when it comes to take place on healthy grapes and under a favorable climate.</p><p>The local climate of Sauternes during the summer time is usually composed of morning mist followed by warm and dry afternoons which has the effect to dry the grapes, reduce the water content and concentrate the sugar.

This area is celebrated for its rich winemaking heritage, dating back nearly 2,000 years to when the Romans first planted vineyards here. The region’s name, “Graves,” refers to its deep layers of gravel, stone, and sand, which give its wines distinct characteristics.</p><p>The Graves AOC is famous for its full-bodied red wines, primarily made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes.
