Lovely and spacious house in Bordeaux
Our house is a very spacious old house built in the late 19th century and fully renovated. It's located in a pleasant area within easy walking or tram distance of the town center (we only take our car for week end !).
On the ground floor (130 square meters): isolated entrance hall, living room, dining room, second lounge and big kitchen opening on a green and sunny garden (South West side), a bedroom and toilet. On the first floor (130 sm) : four bedrooms (3 beds 140x200, 1 bed 140x190), four bathrooms, toilet, a playroom and the laundry. On the second floor are our office and the attic (which might be closed during your visit). In the basement : a big cellar. Our house has very good thermal and acoustic insulation : its high ceilings, 3,90 m, keep it cool, even in summer !
We like our house for its light, space and "charm" !
We enjoy our flower-filled garden (150 sqm) surrounded by trees. We eat easily outside for breakfast and dinner especially. There are a barbecue and a ping pong table.
We have four children, so you can find lots of toys (lego, playmobil, kapla, table games, a big baby foot, paper and colour pens, PS4, ...) and lots of books inside.
We also have bicycles that we very often use to get to work. Bordeaux and its flat topgraphy is perfect for the bicycles ! But we also walk a lot in Bordeaux as the city is largely pedestrianised and as our house is a 20/25 min walk from the cathedral .

About the neighborhood
We live in a residential area close to all amenities (food shops, local market on Saturday, supermarkets, bakeries, banks, ... tramway, bus). Very easy to reach what you want !
The house is strategically located to go to the center of Bordeaux (20/25 min walk, 10/15 by tram or bus ) and to explore the surroundings by car too (30 min drive for St Emilion, Medoc, and the famous castles & wineries ; 45 min for Dune du Pilat, Arcachon and the ocean for surfing or tasting oysters ..). You can also use the bus just next to our house (15 min to go to the central station to take the train to Arcachon).
Bordeaux is a city with a rich historical heritage, particularly from the 18th century, classified in the UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city is renewed for its cobbled streets (the biggest pedestrian area In France), stone architecture (Middle Age and 18th), its gastronomic delights, and unforgettable wine experiences. You will appreciate the "cafés" & terraces, many restaurants and various museums (La cité du vin, le bassin des lumières, le musée d'Aquitaine, musée des arts décoratifs, ..). The quaysides with their impressive 18th facades and the emblematic "Place de la Bourse" are very nice for walking, riding a bike, rollerblade, skate, and even refreshing in the "Miroir d'eau" for young children.
You can also discover Perigord, (1h30 drive) registered in the world patrimony of the Unesco for the riches of its prehistorical caves (the famous cave of Lascaux with paleolithic drawings, ..) and the Dordogne with its old authentical villages (Rocamadour, Sarlat, . ), its castles and rivers. The "Pays Basque" in the South could be another purpose of your trip too (the seaside resort, Biarritz, with powerful waves which attract the world's top surfers or Saint Jean de Luz / 2 hours).

Scambio molto interessante per visitare la splendida città di Bordeaux. I padroni di casa sono stati molto disponibili e i loro consigli fondamentali per esplorare al meglio Bordeaux e i dintorni con le sue importanti cantine. La casa si trova in una posizione strategica per andare in centro (25 min a piedi, 5/10 con Bus o Tram) e per esplorarne i dintorni con la macchina fino ad arrivare all'oceano (1 ora di macchina) per degustare le ostriche con un calice di vino o fare surf in una delle molteplici school of surf.
Ein sehr schöner Ort mit einem sehr schönen Haus, alles war sehr angenehm.

We are a family of six : Françoise, my husband Benoit and our two girls and two boys. Benoit is a magistrat and Françoise works in the human ressources field. Our two eldest children both work for a consulting firm in Paris and the two youngest study in Paris too.
We started doing home exchanges twelve years ago and we've enjoyed travelling together ever since.
I discovered Intervac and home exchanges with my parents 45 years ago and I really find it's a great idea !
We travel either together or with our children (rarely all four of them together). We may consider every destination.
