The
first Sunday of every month (except

Sunday and a program of events
is organised in the town-centre.
Bordeaux is always happy to welcome
tourist coaches and in order to
improve facilities for them has
just opened a special coach-park
(fee-paying) in the town-centre.
The coach-park, which is situated
on the Esplanade des Quinconces
(access via "les allées
de Bristol"), is open 24
hours a day and there is no time-limit
for parking.
In addition to this main facility,
there are now set down/pick up
areas in the vicinity of the hypercentre,
on the left bank, and also on
the right bank.
Finally, as some streets are extremely
narrow and there are also various
traffic restrictions in operation,
recommended routes for coaches
have been drawn up.*
