Raphaelle's home is located at place Gambetta,a very convenient location with bus number 4,running to Chateau Pape Clement.There's also a bus(number 1),going to the airport or to Bordeaux St Jean train station,from a street off place Gambetta.The renown theatre of Bordeaux(where there are great wine retail outlets),is a five minutes walk away.
Raphaelle's home has a personality with photographs and furnitures,that took me through a little history of the dwelling.It is very charming,especially with its many lamps lit up at night.
Raphaelle's hospitality is great.She laid on fresh bed linens and the bed itself is very comfortable.
The kitchen is tiny,but it was not an important factor for me as I were too busy going to the wine yards to sample great wines.
Walking into the bathroom is like transforming into the era of the impressionist.It has a French style Bath tub and the water is very hot.But I didn't take a bath there because my veins constantly had a high volume of alcohol.I took showers instead,and it's a bit tricky to get the temperature right.I found out that when the water gets cold(after mixing too much of cold),then I must turn the mixer off completely and start remixing again.But that didn't put me off.The charm of the apartment,and Bordeaux wine makes up for it,and there's always a possibility to take a bath instead.Get some grapes from the supermarket off place Gambetta,and soak yourself in the tub eating them.
It is a lovely home.I take my hat off for Raphaelle.
