We absolutely loved our stay at Au Coeur de Bordeaux! This charming bed and breakfast, with its antique décor, has so much personality and makes you feel right at home. The staff was wonderful… helpful, attentive, and genuinely eager to ensure we had a great stay. The location is slightly outside the city center, but still within walking distance, which is perfect since Bordeaux is such a walkable city. The street is currently under construction, but we didn’t notice any noise during our weekend stay. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. We would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Bordeaux!
