This house, with its lovely eclectic decoration which appeared to reflect its owners' travels and passions, is indeed very charming and relaxing. We travelled with two young children and the house was great to safely accommodate young kids.The weather was very hot, so we also fully appreciated access to its garden and all the children' toys left for us to use as we were unable to visit the town on the hottest times of the day.
Our welcome to the house was done by a lovely and helpful neighbour, who took the trouble of calling on a friend who could speak English to help with the translation. But despite being away, the owners made sure we had sufficient information in writing to get the know the area and a lovely gift voucher waiting for us.
Bordeaux is a beautiful town. The slight downside for us with young children was that the house is a good 15mn walk to a more lively central place and about 25-30mn to the town centre itself. Parking is tricky (but free) in their street and even more so in the centre, so it was a bit of a walk for the children on hot days and it would have been nice to have easier access to a restaurant or a nice pedestrian square for a drink. However we did not explore buses and trams and, on the plus side, the house was in a quiet residential area, which was nice to go back to in the evening.
Overall, we had a great stay and would recommend this house for a family. Thank you again to Beatrice and Yann for the lovely gift and their welcome.
