Advantages: Beautiful, lots going on, many shops Disadvantages: Lots of graffiti
I vistied Bordeuax in the summer for the Bristol-Bordeaux exchange. This consisted of me going to Bordeaux for two weeks trying to improve my French. It worked!
there is a lot of great features in Bordeaux. the airoport was the first thing i saw. It was very clean and ran on time.
I then was on the road where you see all the vine yards and big houses. the only bad thing was the amount of grafiti. this was probably becasue i was driving through a bad suburb.
The shops in Bordeaux are very good with a huge selection of shops. The main shopping street is about 1km long (well so i was told.) they had all the good English shops which were a little cheaper. Those of you who know how much Quicksilver costs will be suprised that you could buy shirts for 5euro about 3-4 pounds. Then they had my favourite shop which i think should be ...
I once had the pleasure of acquiring a few bottles of Chateau Tassin amongst others for free, which a friend had bought on the cheap from a Spanish supermarket some years ago.

Advantages: Cheap and cheerful, central location secure car parking Disadvantages: Not far from fire station and police HQ, the sirens!
sleeper you can't hear the noise anymore.
The rooms sleep 3 comfortably in a double and a bed sofa, they have a colour TV with some english channels, mainly news programmes. The bathroom is ensuite and well maintained, there is a shower and a half bath, which is particularly useless unless your a child or a vertically challenged person. The shower is detatchable and high pressured. Toileteries are supplied.
The down side is there is no air conditioning, but when your staying in a room costing about £28 what would you expect.
The breakfast is not included in the price , but is only about £6 and its eat all you like with hot, cold and cereal options. I have never had an evening meal there, Bordeaux has far too many other choices!
There is plenty of tourist information in the reception area and if you ask at reception they will give ...
