Bordeaux: A recognised quality of student life
Regularly listed as one of the best student cities in France by L’Étudiant, Bordeaux is known for its easy-going, dynamic lifestyle. Students can enjoy a lively local scene, particularly around Place de la Victoire, with its many bars, cafés and restaurants, or in the Chartrons district, popular for its bohemian atmosphere and vintage shops.
In terms of activities, the city offers a wide choice of sporting activities. Students can join clubs such as the Bordeaux Étudiants Club (BEC), which offers a wide range of disciplines, both collective and individual. Outdoor enthusiasts can also take advantage of the Bordeaux lake to try their hand at sailing, canoeing or paddle boarding.
Accessible and practical transport
Bordeaux enjoys excellent accessibility, thanks in particular to Bordeaux-Mérignac international airport. The city is ideally located, just 2 hours from Paris by TGV and around 2 hours 20 minutes from Toulouse, making it easy to get around regularly.
Getting around the city on a day-to-day basis is simple and efficient. Students often prefer to cycle, with solutions offered by Bordeaux Métropole, as well as using public transport (bus and tram), which they can access with appropriate season tickets. Bordeaux-Saint-Jean station is just a 10-minute walk from the campus, which is itself close to the Voltaire and Mékong bus stops, as well as the Carle Vernet tramway station.
