In Bordeaux, Les Bateaux Bordelais operates the restaurant boat Sicambre for lunch and dinner cruises on the Garonne. Food is prepared on board using fresh, seasonal produce, with an actual cruise past Bordeaux's UNESCO-listed façades and major bridges.
Which option should you choose?
The lunch cruise lasts around 2 hours and starts at €59 per person. The dinner cruise also lasts around 2 hours and starts at €69. A longer option towards Bec d’Ambès is also offered occasionally, with around 4 hours of cruising.
Where do you board?
Boarding for the Sicambre is opposite 24 quai des Chartrons, 33000 Bordeaux. Please note: Les Bateaux Bordelais' aperitif and sightseeing cruises may leave from other pontoons, so follow the address given for the restaurant option carefully.
Before you book
Dinner boarding is around 20:00, with departure around 20:30. Vegetarian and children's menus are available. The cruise passes notably along the pont de Pierre, pont Chaban-Delmas and historic quays before heading up the Garonne.
A little extra
The Sicambre combines two distinctive local experiences: bistro-style fine dining and discovering Bordeaux from its river. If you prefer a lighter option, the same company also offers cruises with a winemaker on board, two glasses of Bordeaux and a selection of food.
