But it also boasts a rich historical, cultural, and urban heritage, making it the perfect place to enjoy a variety of activities. Don’t wait any longer—check out our selection of fun experiences to discover in this little corner of the Gironde!
To kick things off, head to Stéphanie’s salon in the heart of Pessac for a relaxing facial treatment known as Kobido—a facial massage once reserved for the Japanese nobility that’s now popular in France!
A true beauty and wellness ritual, it offers numerous benefits: it stimulates blood circulation, promotes lymphatic drainage, and helps prevent the appearance of wrinkles! You’re going to love it!
We’re staying in the realm of wellness with Institut Illis, which offers a complete body treatment featuring exfoliation and massage. It removes impurities and dead skin cells, restoring your skin’s natural radiance!
Choose from two treatment options! A “Peach Skin” exfoliation and massage treatment—gentle and sweet—made with grape, argan, hibiscus, and sesame. Or a salty anti-aging and slimming treatment with essential oils and grape seeds.
It’s a complete change of pace with Joël and Nicolas, who invite you to their amusement park for a wild 1-hour game of laser tag! Equipped with your laser gun and visor helmet, you’ll enter the arena—one of the five soccer fields at the Urban Soccer center in Bordeaux-Pessac...
...to face off against a team of opponents ready to battle it out! The goal? Hit the enemy without getting hit yourself, using the surroundings and obstacles set up on the playing field. We highly recommend this activity for a birthday party or a bachelor party—laughs are guaranteed!
For anyone who loves creating things with their hands—young and old alike—head over to Etienne’s for a parent-child pottery class! A trained artisan and designer, he’ll be happy to introduce you to the art of ceramics as you create beautiful egg cups.
No prior experience is required! His class covers all the basics of pottery in an accessible way—from working with clay to decorating and firing in the kiln. You’ll even be able to pick up your beautiful creations after a few weeks!
The Truffaut Mérignac store, just a few minutes from downtown Pessac, hosts workshops on eco-friendly gardening. Learn how to care for your garden with a focus on sustainability and respect for ecosystems!
The workshop is divided into two parts: a theoretical section covering the key concepts of permaculture, followed by a hands-on outdoor session, where you’ll create a mini potted garden and learn appropriate techniques such as hand weeding and waste recycling.
Founded in 1976, the zoo had a turbulent history before being taken over in 2019 by Mathieu Danquechin-Dorval, former head keeper at the Ménagerie du Jardin des Plantes in Paris. Today, the zoo showcases a wonderful variety of exotic species at its historic site in Pessac.
White tigers, red pandas, Asian small-clawed otters, tapirs, and servals share the grounds with an African savanna area featuring giraffes, zebras, lions, and pelicans. Wallabies, emus, and capybaras round out this diverse collection, delighting visitors of all ages during a family stroll that’s open year-round.
Open since 2005, this forest—unique in France—is entirely dedicated to the environment and sustainable development. Jointly managed by Bordeaux Métropole and Pessac, it stretches over 6 km as a green belt in the heart of the metropolitan area, from the Rocade to the edge of the Magonty neighborhood.
The site rises to an elevation of nearly 70 meters on the site of a former community landfill that has been transformed into a wooded hill. The 2018 renovations enhanced the existing landscape while preserving natural areas, wetlands, and forests to protect local biodiversity and provide a vast space for nature-based recreation.
This Graves Grand Cru Classé boasts seven centuries of history, dating back to Pope Clement V. The tour begins in the château’s cellar before moving on to the vineyard, then to the wooden fermentation vat dedicated to red wine production, and finally to the barrel cellar where the wine ages for 16 months.
You will then taste three wines from the estate, including the Grand Cru Classé red and the exclusive white cuvée. The comparison between traditional and modern techniques throughout the tour provides insight into how the production of a great wine has evolved over the centuries in this Pessac-Léognan AOC, which was classified in 1959.
