I may be back in the USA, but I left my heart in Bordeaux.
Where can I begin to describe our wonderful stay at L'Echappée? There is so much to love here: first and foremost – our hosts, Sophie and Bruno – so friendly, helpful, and just plain kind beyond the BnB norm! Their cottage, L'Echappée is well appointed, cheerful, comfortable and a super cozy place for a retreat after long strolls through the city center or day trips to the vineyards and chateaus. Beds are comfy, the linens are crisp, and the kitchen is well equipped. The tram to the city is a short walk from the cottage with plenty of stores along the way to stock up on groceries and fresh baguettes.
This location is the best of both worlds – you have the quiet retreat of ‘le Bouscat’ neighborhood and the bustle of Bordeaux, just 15-minutes away. And the bonus – the swimming pool... OMG! another slice of heaven. Plus, there is a private patio, access to a washing machine and free street parking.
So aptly named (L'Echappée) ... Sophie has done an excellent job in making her place the perfect Escape. Will we be back? That’s a resounding oui!
Merci beaucoup Sophie and Bruno!
