Visitors should note that France's tourist tax is added to the room rate, and that rates are highest during the wine fairs and the summer and early autumn periods. Arrival by train is simple, because Gare Saint-Jean receives TGV services from Paris in around two hours, and Bordeaux-Mérignac airport is connected to the city by tram line A and shuttle services. Staying in Bordeaux places travellers within reach of the wine regions of Saint-Émilion, the Médoc and Entre-Deux-Mers, as well as the Atlantic coast and the Arcachon Basin, all of which can be visited on day trips by rail, bus or organised tour. The city centre itself is a UNESCO World Heritage site for its 18th-century architecture, and most sights are close enough to reach on foot or by tram.
