Bordeaux to Bazas: Private day trip

A cathedral town rich in heritage, Bazas pairs stone elegance with unforgettable southwest French cuisine. In Bazas, history lingers in every stone, and the aroma of sizzling beef fills the square. Begin at the UNESCO-listed Saint-Jean-Baptiste Cathedral, where a soaring nave and intricate carvings reveal centuries of craftsmanship. From there, step into the arcaded Place de la Cathedrale, ideal for a coffee and people-watching under faded shop signs. On Saturdays, the market spills over with duck confit, cheeses, and Armagnac. Wander the old ramparts for views of the Garonne valley, then sit down for lunch featuring the town’s legendary Boeuf de Bazas, grilled to perfection. This is southwest France at its most flavorful and authentic.
