Gilles et Françoise couldn’t be better hosts! They are always quick to reply to any messages and will answer all your questions. The apartment was easy to find as the airport bus brought us just a short 15 min (if even) walk away. Everything is a walking distance away and the area super safe. When we arrived at the house Françoise greeted us and shared her local tips. We went to an excellent wine and cheese restaurant recommended by her which was absolutely devine. The apartment itself is located on the second floor of Gilles et Françoise’s home and you have the entire floor to yourself. It was extremely private and during the summer you can go for a swim in the pool (unfortunately we visited in February so were not brave enough to attempt a swim).
Bordeaux is the perfect trip for a weekend away (in my opinion a lot better than Paris). Walking through the streets you’ll never be stuck for anything to do and the nightlife for young people was a lot better than expected (lots of punk rock/hipster places). Don’t forget to visit the City of Wine - but be prepared to spend hours there because there’s quiet a lot to see!
I could not recommend Bordeaux and Gilles and Francoise’s home enough! We spent a lovely weekend here and I will 100% be going back soon.
