Bordeaux
Bordeaux is the sleeping beauty among french cities. Located in the south-west of France and divided by the river Garonne, Bordeaux is best known for its wine, historic buildings and student vibe. The region has over 10.000 wine châteauxs producing 960 million bottles a year. Furthermore, it is called the City of Art and History as it has, after Paris, the most historic monuments, some dating back to the Roman time, in France.
The Café la Comtesse serves the best Mojitos available in all imaginable variations. If you enter, you will find tacky photographs that remind you of the life of a comtesse. A terrace located in front of the bar invites you to enjoy the warm summery evenings.
The L'Apollo bar is located in the heart of the historic center of Bordeaux and the name should remind the visitor of the famous Apollo theatre in Harlem, New York. It plays soul and funk music and prides itself with its musical identity. It is the perfect location to start a night out in Bordeaux!
The Makila Café offers a great mix of restaurant, bar and club. It only opened in 2010 and offers a beautiful view over the river. You can start with an aperitif in a lounge atmosphere celebrating with your Travelfriends, continue with cocktails and, once it's dark, enjoy the beats in Le Vestaire Malika (in-house club).
Le 21 is a small club in the centre of the city. It plays a variety of music - electronic music, house, funk, RnB, rock and much more. It gets crowded quickly and urban, 20 to 30 year-old people enjoy coming here. The bar also offers superb cocktails if you need a rest from dancing.

What to pack
The french chic applies to the night life especially. Everyone is well considering their outfits and pin them up with sparkling jewelry. For a night out in Bordeaux, girls definitely need a dress which shows their silhouette and demonstrates their best part of the body. High heels, shiny jewelry, a clutch and perfume perfectly accomplish the outfit. Guys should wear a well suited button-down shirt, a blazer, chinos, leather shoes and perfume. The French love to present themselves from their best side, so should you. But most importantly, pack an outfit which represents you and makes you feel beautiful and glamorous.
