Clos de Picurey is an absolute delight and makes for an ideal base to work from to visit the equally impressive city of Bordeaux. Both city and apartment are absolute gems and go hand in hand. The pool is excellent as are the accommodations for 3 or 4 and is a perfect location for a family visit as the apartment is so conveniently located right next to the Gare de Bruges which takes you right into the heart of Bordeaux in 20 minutes or so. If you are staying a week or so make sure you take advantage of the 7 day pass on the Tram in Bordeaux as it is an exceptionally convenient way t move about.
A very easy city to navigate with a staggering number of tremendous restaurants and activities to keep you and your travelling companions busy whatever the age. After many many visits to France since the early 80s and finally making it to Bordeaux city with my kids in 2022, I have to say it is one of the great cities of France given its balance of culture and absolutely chilled vibe, leaving little doubt where the wisdom of Montaigne emanates from and continues to breathe from. The locals were all very amiable and helpful, as always making the effort to speak the local language is part of the fun and the kind people of Bordeaux will go out of their way to help. I cannot say enough about the whole experience and thank Valérie, Emmanuel and Béatrice for being stupendous hosts. We hope to make it back at some point in the not so distant future.
