After the disappointment of missing out on promotion to Ligue 3, the players of Girondins de Bordeaux took a few days in Gironde to engage in discussions with their management. The club aimed to understand their aspirations for the upcoming 2026-2027 season, considering both those still under contract and those whose contracts would expire on June 30. Following these discussions, the players set off for various destinations, including some who even chose to vacation together.
Among those who vacationed together were **Ruben Droehnlé** and **Matthieu Villette**. Before their joint trip, the central defender returned to his hometown of Strasbourg, where he was spotted playing tennis. Afterward, the two Bordeaux players met up in Corsica, specifically in Porto-Vecchio, where they engaged in a variety of water sports and quad biking adventures.
Popular Destination: Marrakech
Prior to heading to Bourges, **Pierre-Bertrand Arné** spent several days in Marrakech, Morocco. The former Bordeaux player then returned to his island home in Saint-Martin for a few days. **Léo Jousselin** also enjoyed the sunny vibes of Marrakech, alongside **Soufiane Bahassa**. **Oualid El Hajjam** chose Morocco as his getaway destination as well, specifically Agadir. Even **Ludéric Etondé**, who is no longer with Bordeaux, spent a few days soaking up the atmosphere in Marrakech.
After a stopover in Dubai, **Driss Trichard** was spotted in Algeria, where he enjoyed some quad biking. **Steve Shamal** made his way through Bordeaux and Châteaudun. Some players, like **Jan Hoekstra**, have kept a low profile on social media, even though it’s known he spent some quality family time in Italy. It appears **Guillaume Odru** took a trip to Turkey, specifically Bodrum.
Farther Adventures
**Royce Openda** traveled directly to Gabon, primarily in Libreville, before heading to Rabat, the capital of Morocco. Our new recruit, **Djibril Bangoura**, also returned to his homeland, Guinea, where he spent most of his time in Conakry and Maferinyah. For **Tidyane Diagouraga**, the journey took him even further, as he spent a few days in Bali.
Other players opted for a more discreet approach, sharing little about their vacations on social media platforms.
