In spite of a broken leg, Giselle was personally present to welcomed us into her home. We were extremely touched by the many small gestures- like the fresh oranges to make ourselves freshly squeezed orange juice for breakfast, the bottle of wine, fresh bread, cheese, yoghurt, champagne etc. Not only did she offer the contents of her kitchen and fridge for us to use, but also checked in on us to make sure we didnt hesitate from doing so. She patiently and immediately answered all of our questions. Despite the language barrier, her enthusiasm and keeness to ensure we had a great time left a lasting impression on us. The house was spic and span and very tastefully and beautifully done up (she painted the house herself !). It's bright, cosy and has every thing one would ever need. Our stay was perfect and our host was the best host anyone could ask for. We're taking back wonderful memories of Bordeaux with us.
