The Blue Lodge is a very elegant house in a really quiet street 5 mins from the bus (or tram B) from the airport . Valérie was waiting for me to arrive, and to give me a map with all the areas marked for my first exploration of the charming city of Bordeaux. As it was late she phoned to reserve a table at a local bistro, for me.
Every morning there was a lovely breakfast - with a different freshly cooked surprise, apple crumble, pain perdu, chocolate pound cake etc, along with yoghurt, pastries etc.
Valérie is a most charming hostess who speaks excellent English, but was also kind enough to talk to me in slow French to help me with my studies.
My chambre was spacious, smart and very clean. Super comfortable bed. Modern en suite bathroom, with good shower. Also there was a kettle with tea and coffee.
