Week-end Getaway deals in Bordeaux and Lyon

Spring comes with ideas of taking City breaks week-end. Several cities in France offer very good deals which usually include accommodation and various visits. It would be a shame not to enjoy these offers and have more for your pennies. From my list of favorite destinations, I present 2 cities today which worth a visit taking advantage of their very attractive offers.

Bordeaux, not only the starting point for visiting the surrounding worldwide known vineyards, is a world heritage site with architectural treasures you can discover in a peaceful atmosphere. The city proposes a special deal: “Forfait Bordeaux Decouverte” or Bordeaux Discovery Package. It includes 2 nights with breakfast, a complete visit of the city (in English), a guide tour of the vineyards including wine tasting, a free pass for the main historical monuments and museums of the city, a free pass for the public transportation valid for up to 5 trips (upon request), a free bottle of wine in your hotel room, a free wine tasting at the “Bar a Vin” and finally, a free glass of champagne at the Casino Théâtre Barrière.
The price of this excellent offer depends on the class of hotel you choose to stay at. It starts at 100 euro per person for a 2* hotel.

Lyon, second biggest city in France, is also the French capital of Gastronomie! This lovely city offers a lot of options for shoppers, history lovers, and fine restaurant hunters. Lyon proposes a week-end deal that includes 2 nights and a Lyon City Card (with free access to museums, monuments and other activities). By choosing this option, you will save 50% on the second night at the hotel of your choice. Price starts at 70 euro per person for the week-end. Lyon offers other packages including one called Pack OnlyDelice which for a starting price of 125 euro, you have a night at a hotel of your choice (to pick in a list) and an introduction to the Lyonnaise Gastronomy including diner.
