Henry LeFevre's AirBNB home in a medieval cloister (what was left after revolutionaries dismantled most of the rest of the building in the 1790s) is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, not only for the medieval experience but also for the remarkable modern architectural renovation--which has resulted in modern high-tech lighting, sensitive deployment of space, and a marvelous kitchen that will lift the heart of any chef. That the second floor is a marvelous bedroom suite--with amazing fireplace, bread ovens, etc--adds character and charm beyond compare.
Generous spaces make it possible for a family to have privacy from one another. Two full bathrooms, one on the first floor of the flat and one in the master suite, are both lovely and functional. Not only was every detail of the flat just right, but the spaces were all immaculately clean.
Don't miss La Fleche, the square closest to Henry's flat--a place where one sees modern (basketball, markets, multi-ethnicity) Bordeaux on easy display alongside the junk stores ("brocante") and the basilica with its separate bell tower.
