We arrived in Bordeaux by train and took the bus with two children. A short walk later we were welcomed by David’s wife. Laurence shared with us a wonderful conversation that built up our excitement about the city and the region. Elegant and well-spoken, she arranges a wide range of private tours and upscale tours, which we unfortunately stayed too short of a time to enjoy.
The appartment itself has anything you’d expect plus very comfortable furniture. We took note that despite the profusion of furniture the place keeps its sens of balance and is easy to navigate. Another feature is the amount of sun that allows for a sens of warmth, accentuated by the owner’s plants. The bed and linen were of better wuality and allow us to sleep comfortably despite young children’s kicks and cries.
David’s appartment is conveniently close to a market which is also open on sunday morning (something quite exceptional in France), we found there all the necessaries to make sandwiches as well as last minute infant powder milk.
The neighborhood is easy to rember and very close to the city’s biggest park. We recommend visiting woth children the Natural History Museum which offers a quality cultural activity for the family, with photo oppotunities. The docks are also another close to the appartment by walking distance.
Overall it was a relaxing and enjoyable stay that allowed us to enjoy the Fête du Fleuve and be “mesmerized” by the city (:D)
