Virginie was on site as we arrived from the Gare de Bordeaux. She gave a rather complete discussion of the amenities and how to operate everything. And she was responsive during our stay ans amenable to extending our visit if necessary. In a word, this location was sensational: spacious, modern, and located in one of the historic districts, the Chaetrons, home to the wine merchants that made Bordeaux the world renownd city that it is today. A recent mayor, M. Juppé, a current candidate for president, modernized Bordeaux with a convenient Tram system, a beautufication program and a first rate civil administration. Nearby one can taste at minimal,cost some of the world's greatest wines. Who could ask for more?
