Patrick made us feel right at home straight away, wonderfully hospitable and generously provided breakfast. Very knowledgeable and gave us some great local tips of the best that Bordeaux and other close by areas have to offer. You have the whole upstairs of the house to use privately and share the kitchen and a pool if the weather is nice. Pessac Central is about a 20 minute walk from his house and from there you can catch the TRAM into Bordeaux (€1.60 one way or return for €3.20). Patrick very nicely drove us into Bordeaux one morning. He knows a little bit of basic English and I know a little bit of French, but communication was very easy and it was great getting to improve my French! Dune du Pilat, the tallest sand dune in Europe is about a 45 minute drive from Pessac at Arcachon Bay, a must see! Merci for everything Patrick, will be back if ever in Bordeaux again!
