Ever the digitally connected city, Bordeaux now offers a brand-new service to all its citizens and visitors using an iPhone or a Smartphone. An app for accessing Bordeaux’s calendar of events is now available free from the App Store. Entitled À Bordeaux, it is the first app of its type covering a major French city. It allows users to access events by time, location and category, to locate them on a map, or share them via email, Facebook or Twitter.
The Bordeaux Diary is one of the most visited sections of the site - concerts, expositions, shows, sports events, theaters, congresses, special events and festivals – in all, there are 3,500 events listed every year. They cover activities in more than one hundred locations for shows, sporting events and cultural happenings both in downtown Bordeaux and the greater metropolitan area.
The City Hall puts all these activities, updated daily, at the fingertips of all citizens, visitors and other Bordophiles, announcing to the world that Bordeaux is a city on the move.
