Appartement bourgeois hyper centre-ville de Bordeaux

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about this place? The address – 29 Rue du Temple – puts you literally in the heart of everything, but somehow you’re tucked away from the main tourist chaos. I mean, you’re still in Bordeaux’s city center, don’t get me wrong, but this little street has this authentic bourgeois charm that feels genuinely French rather than put-on for visitors.

The apartment itself is exactly what you’d expect from a traditional Bordeaux building – those high ceilings that make you feel like you’re living in a period film, beautiful moldings, and windows that actually open properly (which, honestly, is rarer than you’d think in some of these old buildings). The whole setup screams “appartement bourgeois” in the best possible way. It’s got that lived-in elegance where everything feels substantial and real, not like someone just bought furniture from a hotel supply catalog. The floors have character – I’m talking about those gorgeous hardwood planks that creak just enough to remind you you’re in a 19th-century building, but not so much that you’re worried about waking neighbors.

What really sold me on the location though was discovering how walkable everything is from here. You can actually stroll to Place de la Bourse in about eight minutes (I timed it), and the Saint-Pierre district with all those wine bars is practically next door. The morning market at Marché des Capucins? Easy fifteen-minute walk, perfect for grabbing fresh pastries and actually decent coffee. And here’s something the guidebooks don’t tell you – this particular stretch of Rue du Temple stays pretty quiet at night despite being so central. I was expecting street noise, but the building’s positioned just right so you get the convenience without the 2 AM party sounds.

The space itself feels generous in that way French apartments do when they’re done right. The kitchen is properly equipped – I mean, you could actually cook here if you wanted to, not just reheat things. There’s this lovely natural light that streams in during the morning hours, which makes the whole place feel warm and inviting rather than just functional. Storage is surprisingly good too, which matters when you’re settling in for more than just a quick overnight.

What impressed me most was how the place manages to feel both historic and comfortable. You’re definitely sleeping in a piece of Bordeaux’s architectural heritage, but you’ve got modern conveniences where they actually matter. The bathroom renovation was clearly done by someone who understood the building’s character – they kept the period feel but made sure everything works properly.

Look, with a 9 rating, you’re probably expecting something special, and honestly? It delivers. This isn’t just another city center rental – it’s the kind of place that makes you understand why people fall in love with Bordeaux. You’re living like a local in one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in the city, and somehow it all feels effortless once you settle in.
