You may drive with a valid U.S. driver's license in France. In addition, it is recommended (not required) to carry an International Driving Permit or attach a French translation to your US driver's license. You must also be at least 18 years old and hold a valid credit card.
There are several good car hire companies throughout Europe, I would recommend one of the following;
ADA – 0825 169 169
Avis – 0820 150 505
Europcar – 0870 607 500
Hertz – 0720 903 905
The speed limit is 50 km/h (30 mph) in the towns, and 90 km/h (55 mph) on the open roads.
We chose to rent a car and drive from Den Haag to Southwest France as it was the most economical and easiest way to get to and around France. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

This picture was taken on my way back from Bordeaux, via St Emilion. I always enjoy traveling by road, as it affords me the opportunity of seeing other towns and cities. It also give the feeling of knowing the geography of the terrane very well. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

Some major airlines also serve Bordeaux regulary, for example Lufthansa (from Munich) or MALEV (from Budapest). Please check to shedules of the airlines.
Instead of going directly to Bordeaux you can also take a plane to Paris. There is a regulary high-speed trainservice (TGV - train a grand vitesse) linking Paris and Bordeaux. Look at the SNCF-Website for more infos. Leave a Comment

My sister, a travel companion and I went to Bordeaux by car. It was rather far - more than 1800 kilometers in two days.
Getting there:
From Paris: Take to motorway A 10, distance is about 550 km, and it will take about 5 hours.
From Toulouse/Marseille: Take the motorway A 62, it is about 500 km from Marseille, Toulouse is closer.
There are big distances in France! Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

Like most cities in Europe, Bordeaux is pretty compact with most of the major sites centrally located and easily reached by walking. We arrived by car and started our exploring on foot.
Walking is one of my favorite ways of exploring a city because it allows me a better perspective of the city, I can go "off the beaten path" at my pace, stopping to admire beautiful architecture, city life, or a quick stop for a snack or drink. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

The sleek blue trams that operate in Bordeaux are a great way of getting around in the city centre or the suburbs. It's three-line tram is easily navigated and a good way of getting around Bordeaux.
The hours of operation are between 05:00 and 01:00 and tickets can be purchased at the tram stops.
We didn't use the tram during our visit and I am not quite sure what the ticket price would be. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

We didn't use the bus service while exploring Bordeaux, but we did come across many buses lined up here near the Palais du Justice. Apparently this area is a depot for bus service in and around Bordeaux. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus
