Bordeaux is safe during the daytime, but you have to be careful at night, especially in the old town. I was followed by four men to the station after sunset, which was just a short walk to the station.

It's a nice place to live. I never had any problem here but I don't go out very often and not on the evening. Other people tend to say it's safe excepted some places like Victoire at night but otherwise it's safe. And I'm not scared to go walk outside and run even if it's dark outside when it's not late.

Bordeaux is quite safe in my experience as long as you stay away from certain areas I’ve lived here for 7 years and never experienced any unsafe event but heard about some I feel very safe here but have never been too reckless

Hello, fellow lady travellers! I'm Marion, and I'm originally from Bordeaux but I've only moved back here a few years ago. I work in graphic design at the moment, though I'm always looking for opportunities in other creative jobs! I loveee travelling to bigger cities, and then also to more remote areas to go on hikes. Travelling alone is something I enjoy, it's not the same experience as travelling with friends and it really allows to meet lots of wonderful people, and live like a local. :)
