Payment methods

  • Is the tour Hop on Hop off? / Can we go down and up at certain places on the circuit?

    Our bus tours are not Hop on Hop off, that is to say that the visit is continuous, without stops to get off. Nevertheless, the buses stop for a few moments at strategic points to take nice pictures!

  • What is the departure address of the bus?

    The departure and return point is next to the Tourist Office, 40, allées d’Orléans 33000 Bordeaux

  • What happens if it rains during the visit?

    An electric tarpaulin can be unrolled on the roof in case of rain or strong heat, at the initiative of the driver.

    Nevertheless, we advise you to also bring an outfit adapted to the weather of the day.

  • Can I come with my dog?

    Your dog can accompany you, if it is kept on a leash

  • What happens if I bought a ticket on the website and the tour does not leave?

    If the minimum number of people is not reached for a departure, i.e. 5 people on the Bordeaux Authentic Tour, we will be able to offer you the visit on another schedule, or to refund you the ticket.

Circasciences takes to the stage in Bordeaux: understanding the science behind the show
Circasciences takes to the stage in Bordeaux: understanding the science behind the show

The exhibition *Circasciences en piste*, organised by Cap Sciences, is part of an initiative to bring advanced science to the general public through the lens of the circus arts. The exhibition design features a series of interactive installations that allow visitors to analyse the physical mechanisms employed by performers during their acts. This educational approach transforms a fun experience into a genuine scientific laboratory accessible to the general public.

Located on the quays of Bordeaux, right next to the Cité du Vin, this exhibition benefits from a strategic position within a well-established tourist ecosystem. This location makes it easy to incorporate into a wider urban discovery itinerary, particularly through organised tours.
