You will not regret your time at Julie’s. Our flight was a fiasco so we arrived in Bordeaux late at night a day after planned. Julie kept in contact the whole time trying to help us find tickets for a train from Paris. Her sympathy and helpfulness was much appreciated as we navigated our way finally to her flat.
Hermes greeted us and we marvelled at Julie and Charly’s wonderful setup. Everything was clean and wonderfully labelled. Instructions were easy to follow. The bed was comfortable and the shower was lovely. The window/balcony gives you a nice view of the weekend market while you enjoy a coffee from their espresso machine. It felt like staying at a close friends apartment.
We would have stayed a few more days had we known Bordeaux offered so much. We are already talking about staying at Julie’s the next time we’re in France.
Tips: stay in Bordeaux for a few days. Book your train tickets in advance. Always. Get the $2 insurance if you need to cancel last minute.
