Bordeaux Pride 2026

Bordeaux hosts its Marche des Fiertes on Saturday, June 20, 2026 - one of the earliest French Prides of the year. Bordeaux's LGBTQ+ scene is concentrated in the Saint-Pierre neighborhood near the Garonne. Bordeaux has held Pride events since the early 1990s, building on a community shaped by the city's wine industry professionals, its student population and its growing arts scene. During Pride week the Triangle becomes festival space, with events running from Thursday through Sunday alongside the official parade program. Bordeaux is the world capital of fine wine, and its Pride week increasingly incorporates wine-focused programming - LGBTQ+-oriented vineyard visits, wine dinners and tastings that combine the city's two identities. For maximum comfort and the warmest welcome, booking through misterb&b is always recommended. 🏳️‍🌈

Unlike a hotel, a misterb&b stay puts you in a real apartment, with a real local connection, in a city at its most electric.
