Le Tramway de Bordeaux needs no translation. This 3-line system with an innovative ground-level power supply opened in 2003. Even though its sleek and elegant cars pass right in front of the Gare de Bordeaux Saint-Jean rail terminal, you might prefer to forgo the convenience and start out on foot. Mind the traffic, particularly the quiet tramways, as you Cross Rue Charles Domercq from the station and follow the street as it curves into Rue de Tauzia.
