Au Coeur de Bordeaux in Bordeaux, open AprilAugust.

Built in the 18th century as a Bordeaux merchant's townhouse, Au Coeur de Bordeaux has been meticulously restored to preserve its original stone facades and period details while introducing contemporary luxury.

Located at the heart of Bordeaux's UNESCO-listed historic district, this hotel offers sophisticated event spaces across 1,200 square meters of interior venues.

The property maintains its architectural heritage while providing full modern amenities for ceremonies, receptions, and multi-day celebrations.

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!
