Cocoonr Agency is pleased to present this superb 120 m² flat, situated in a stone-built building right in the heart of Bordeaux’s historic centre, offering every comfort and blending modernity with old-world charm for an exceptional stay. Spacious and just a short walk from the quays, Place Sainte-Colombe, Rue Sainte-Catherine and Place du Palais, it features two bedrooms and a bathroom with a shower and bath, and can comfortably accommodate up to four guests.
This accommodation is offered exclusively under a ‘mobility tenancy’ – a furnished tenancy agreement with a term of between 1 and 10 months – reserved for people in a situation of temporary mobility (studies, training, work placements, professional assignments or transfers, etc.). You must sign the tenancy agreement in order to gain access to the accommodation.
Once you have made your booking, you will be asked to provide the following documents to complete your application and draw up the tenancy agreement: proof of identity for the occupants, contact details, proof of address where applicable, proof of home insurance, proof of your employment status or reason for mobility, as well as the required proof of income (e.g. payslips or financial statements for the self-employed).
Please ensure, before making any booking, that you are eligible for the mobility tenancy agreement and able to provide these documents. If the tenancy agreement is not signed and the required supporting documents are not submitted, access to the property cannot be granted

Place Sainte-Colombe: Formerly a market square in the 12th century, it was refurbished in 2008. Benches have been installed and trees planted, and both local residents and tourists now enjoy this square as a lovely spot to take a break.
The Saint-Pierre district is regarded as the cradle of Bordeaux. It is only natural that this former Gallo-Roman port, which would later become a medieval town, took its name from the patron saint of fishermen. In the 12th century, the harbour was filled in. The ramparts of the walled city were demolished in the 18th century, with the development of the Place de la Bourse. All that remains is the 35-metre-high Cailhau defensive gate and a network of pedestrianised or semi-pedestrianised alleyways, whose names reflect the district’s commercial and artisanal heritage: Rue des Argentiers, Rue des Bahutiers and Rue du Chai des Farines. In the 16th century, the neighbourhood also began to be populated by middle-class families around the Church of Saint-Rémi.
