Our 2 week stay was completely enhanced by Moran's spacious and perfectly located apartment. We were short walks to everything we desired from groceries, patisseries, restaurants, wine shops to hourly bike rentals, local tram and the fabulous quai. Walking through the Port Calihoun medieval structure daily was a reminder of the history of Bordeaux. If you want to feel like you are living like and among locals this is the ideal apartment.
Upon arrival on your first evening, we highly recommend taking a bottle of wine to the quai and experience the local scene! Day 2 - bottle of wine & patisserie prepared sandwiches or quiche for a picnic in the Public Gardens.
Day 3 secret (and applied multiple days beyond), for a more relaxing experience, less expensive & being on your own schedule - bypass the Bordeaux chateau tour groups - take the tram to the train station & travel by train (open ticket) to your desired Bordeaux appellations - pack your wine opener & wine glasses to indulge in your Bordeaux purchase on the train ride "home".
Everyday in Bordeaux was exciting and fulfilling in every way we could imagine, beginning and ending with the comforts provided by Moran's apartment.
We plan to return to France in 2019 & are hopeful Moran's apartment is available to us again.
