Bordeaux is for sophisticated living, often being described as a "mini Paris". Our apartment was selected for its very central location in the heart of the city. The apartment is situated between the prestigious shopping street "Cours de l’Intendance" and the famous Gambetta Garden-square. All this area offers a smart selection of bistro restaurants, cafés, boutique clothes and jewelry shops, delicatessen and specialized gift shops. All shops and the tramway are literally just steps away.
This air-conditioned duplex-apartment (two Levels)of 100 sqm, is located in a fully renovated registered 18th century building ("Hotel du Palais Gallien"). This apartment has been beautifully and totally renovated in 2008 and finished with all-new furnishings, fixtures and fittings. The apartment is full air-conditioned. The living room opens on a private terrace-garden (30 m2) where you can have breakfast, lunch, diner or simply take sun. For your convenience there is WiFi and broadband Internet access (20 Mega), phone, cable TV (60 channels, BBC, CNN...) and a private parking.
The apartment is offering (at ground floor level) a beautiful and light open plan living space of more than 45 sqm, with original wooden floors, 2 huge door-windows overlooking the private and sunny garden, a kitchen fully equipped and a separate toilet. At the first floor of the duplex apartment, you find a desk area, two separate comfortable double bedrooms and a modern bathroom. The apartment is fully furnished and equipped to a very high standard, tastefully presented and modern, but in keeping with its period.
Bordeaux is in the heart of a very large and old wine area, and you will go for wine tastings in famous Medoc châteaux. It is also 50 km from the sea (Arcachon and Cap Ferret), 180 km from Spain and the mountains. There are many lakes and beautiful scenary around town. The town vast world heritage site has recently been totaly cleaned and the quays along the Garonne river developed.
Important: If you want to combine your stay in Bordeaux, with a stay in Paris (3 Hours with TGV train), please have a look on my apartment in Paris (VRBO # 199903). I would be happy to propose you a special offer for these combined stays. ?
