My husband, 18 y.o. son and 16 y.o. daughter will be traveling to Bordeaux in August for two weeks. He will be working at a hospital in Pessac. Can anyone recommend accomodations that would be centrally located for the 4 of us? We hope to be able to have some excursions while we are there too, of course.

A lot depends on your budget. Just to offer a few suggestions, for comfortable accommodations you might look at the Normandie or Majestic, both of which are in the center of town, as are the Quatre Soeurs and Acanthe, which are a bit less expensive.

Thank you for the recommendation. Can you elaborate about how I find accomodations in these areas? Also, given our length of stay, someone else recommended renting an apartment. Have you any suggestions to that end? Thank you.

For information about these hotels and to contact them regarding availability, just do a Google search on each of their names and you%26#39;ll find their web sites and contact information.
For information about rental accommodations in Bordeaux, take a look at the thread begun by lyndsey76 about a dozen places below this one titled %26quot;Self-catering apartments/flats%26quot;.

Thank you once again. I will search that thread immediately.

Having lived in Bordeaux short stay apartments before, I would recommend the Citea. A 1 bedroom would be tight, but I believe it would sleep 4. Fully furnished with secure parking available for an extra charge. Lots to do within a half hour walk: Jardin Publique, old Roman colisseum ruins, cathedrals, and all the downtown shopping. Pessac is about 3 miles away - lots of good wineries there (Haut Brion the finest), but pricy. Take a day trip out to Sarlat by train if you can. Watch the movie Bon Voyage if you want to get an idea what it%26#39;s like. Have fun!
