Guest house on Rue Borie in the Chartrons.
L'Esprit des Chartrons is a guest house at 17 Rue Borie, 33300 Bordeaux, France, in the Chartrons quarter. The Chartrons were the home of Bordeaux's wine merchants and today have antique shops, galleries and the Sunday quayside market. The Garonne promenade runs to the Cité du Vin, and the Jardin Public and Grand Théâtre are reachable on foot or by tram. The guest house reflects the Chartrons character: a limestone merchant-quarter building with a personal scale.
L'Esprit des Chartrons is a guesthouse property, and the room types listed are Double Room. Typical rates are EUR 80-170 (~$92-$195) per night, and prices vary with season, events and the length of stay. Rooms are typically double rooms, and the listed amenity is Wifi. Breakfast is generally served by the hosts, and the surrounding streets offer cafés and restaurants for other meals. There is no spa or pool. Service is personal, with the hosts able to share local advice on wine tastings, markets and walking routes, and the guest house suits couples and independent travellers.
Visitors should note that France's tourist tax is added to the room rate, and that rates are highest during the wine fairs and the summer and early autumn periods. Arrival by train is simple, because Gare Saint-Jean receives TGV services from Paris in around two hours, and Bordeaux-Mérignac airport is connected to the city by tram line A and shuttle services. Staying in Bordeaux places travellers within reach of the wine regions of Saint-Émilion, the Médoc and Entre-Deux-Mers, as well as the Atlantic coast and the Arcachon Basin, all of which can be visited on day trips by rail, bus or organised tour. The city centre itself is a UNESCO World Heritage site for its 18th-century architecture, and most sights are close enough to reach on foot or by tram.
