Having arrived in Bordeaux 2 hours late, due to flight delays, Gilles was there at the house to show us around. For those who's ability to speak French is limited, Gilles speaks very good English, and a perfect host.

The pictures that Gilles has supplied of the house perfectly reflect the layout of the rooms. For reference, the walk-in bathroom is linked to the ground floor bedroom, whilst the upstairs bedrooms have the bath/shower arrangement, which is en-suite to the main bedroom. Unfortunately, we had wet weather during our stay so we were unable to make good use of the upstairs balcony.

As expected, the house is conveniently situated close to Gare St.Jean railway station and Marche des Capucins (which is a must visit if you like good seafood and wine). For those wishing to walk to the main shopping areas and the river, they are walkable without too much effort. However, if required there is a local bus service.

We really enjoyed our stay in Bordeaux, and will certainly be back again in the future.
