Why choose Bordeaux for your road trip
Bordeaux — a city worth exploring
Bordeaux's Cité du Vin, a landmark wine museum shaped like a swirling decanter, welcomed over 400,000 visitors in its opening year and remains one of France's most distinctive cultural attractions. Set along the Garonne River in south-west France, Bordeaux blends 18th-century limestone architecture with a lively food and wine scene that earned the entire city centre UNESCO World Heritage status in 2007. Stroll across the Pont de Pierre, the city's oldest bridge with its 17 arches, then wander through the Place de la Bourse to see the famous Miroir d'Eau reflecting pool. The Basilique Saint-Michel, with its freestanding 114-metre bell tower, offers panoramic views across the rooftops. Beyond the city, the Atlantic coast at Lacanau is just 55 km west, while the medieval wine town of Saint-Émilion sits only 40 km to the east — both are easy day trips by road. The flat terrain along the Garonne and well-maintained dual carriageways make driving a motorhome around the region straightforward, even for first-timers. With Yescapa, you hire a campervan directly from local owners in and around Bordeaux, which means you can collect your vehicle close to where you want to start exploring. Peer-to-peer hire also gives you a wider choice of campervans and layouts, so you can match the vehicle to your trip rather than the other way round.
Best time to visit
Bordeaux is a rewarding destination in every season. June to September brings warm, dry days ideal for exploring vineyards and the Atlantic beaches by campervan. The Bordeaux Wine Festival, held every other June along the quays, is a highlight worth planning around. In autumn, the grape harvest season fills Saint-Émilion and the Médoc with energy and colour. Book your Yescapa motorhome early for summer, as it is the most popular period for hire. Spring and winter offer quieter roads and easier campsite availability around Bordeaux, plus lower peer-to-peer prices through Yescapa.

Where to park your motorhome
Bordeaux has several dedicated motorhome parking areas and park-and-ride facilities that welcome larger vehicles. Overnight stays in a campervan are permitted at the designated aire near Bordeaux Lac, which includes service facilities.

Always check signage for vehicle height and length limits before parking.

Frequently asked questions
On Yescapa, local owners list their motorhomes across the Bordeaux area, so you can arrange collection in neighbourhoods such as Mérignac near the airport, Pessac to the south-west, or Bordeaux Lac to the north. Each listing shows the exact pick-up location, making it easy to choose a vehicle close to your starting point. Peer-to-peer hire means more pick-up spots than a traditional depot.
Yescapa's peer-to-peer model often means lower prices than traditional hire companies, because you deal directly with the vehicle owner. To get the best rate in Bordeaux, try booking well ahead of summer or look at shoulder-season dates in May or October. Use the filters on Yescapa to compare campervans and motorhomes by price, and check for owners offering weekly discounts.
For couples or solo travellers exploring Bordeaux's wine country, a compact campervan with two berths is easy to park in smaller villages like Saint-Émilion. Families of four or five are usually more comfortable in a motorhome with a fixed rear bed and overcab sleeping area. On Yescapa, you can filter by berth count and layout to match the vehicle to your group size and travel plans.
Campervan hire in Bordeaux through Yescapa typically starts from around £60 to £80 per night for a compact two-berth vehicle, while larger motorhomes with more berths may range from £90 to £140 per night. Prices vary by season, vehicle age, and owner. Peer-to-peer hire through Yescapa often works out more affordable than traditional rental, especially for longer trips.
Yes — many Yescapa owners around Bordeaux welcome pets on board. You can filter listings by the pet-friendly option to see which campervans and motorhomes accept dogs. The Bordeaux region is great for travelling with a dog, with pine forests near Lacanau and riverside walks along the Dordogne. Always confirm any pet rules directly with the owner before you book.

It's the second time I've hired from Ruben and I hope not the last. He is very honest and explains everything clearly. His RV is lovely to drive and has everything you need. If you're looking for an RV, go with Ruben!

Overall experience was great! Host was very responsive and proactive and provided support before and throughout our trip. The van has everything you need to enjoy a nice camping experience.
Paul
5 / 5
Martine was a wonderful host and took us through the many features and inventory with kindness and good humour. She made great efforts to help overcome our language barrier, for which we were very grateful. The motor home was in excellent condition and very well appointed. The electric self lowering bed was very comfortable and retracted to the roof freeing up valuable space for the living quarters. The Fiat vehicle controls were easy to handle and once we got used to the size was no trouble motoring around the Loire. The vehicle was very reliable and well maintained. Martine was quick to reply to a water heating issue we had and resolved our query with easy to follow instructions. Overall, we were very satisfied with our 8 day rental and would not hesitate to recommend this motor home for future rentals.
