Lionel's wife, Corinne, met us upon our arrival and let us in to this beautiful apartment. Bordeaux's historic center is truly a remarkable place. The narrow streets and historic buildings take you back hundreds of years. Lionel and Corinne's apartment is located within walking distance of every major historical site, countless fine restaurants and shopping areas. If you drive to Bordeaux the Victor Hugo Garage (indoor) is located within a short walk and is probably where your vehicle will reside during your stay. Access to the apartment is down a circular stone stairwell. It overlooks a moss covered courtyard with windows in the living and bedroom. The apartment is spacious, comfortable and has all the conveniences for an enjoyable stay. Lionel and Corinne welcomed us during our stay with wines, cheese and tapas. A truly enjoyable experience.
