Gare de Bordeaux-Saint-Jean

With its huge stone arched entrance and fabulous circular stairway, the SNCF Bordeaux business centre makes an immediate positive impact. The business centre occupies the third and fourth floors of the building, overlooking an impressive internal courtyard or with views over the main square. The business centre is a few metres away from the station platforms and is in a great position for connections to southwest France and beyond. It is a few hours from Paris by TGV. The main tram passes in front of the building and leads to the historic city centre and the Garonne riverbank. Major companies, many of them specialising in the aeronautics industry have their headquarters in Bordeaux. It is also famous for its wine. The workforce is well educated, with graduates from the local university and schools in engineering, sciences and business management. Bordeaux's maritime port is a logistics and industrial platform for a wide region.
