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.

You have to be careful around Porte de Bourgogne —> there’s a lot of robery and intoxicated ppl Also men in nightclubs/bar can be very pushy + sexual harassment but if you go out with friends/group then everything should be fine ! :)

Hi! I’m a political science and international relations student from Istanbul, currently in Bordeaux for my exchange program. I have a passion for photography, politics, and history, and I’d love to connect with women from different cultures to share experiences and perspectives!

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. :)
