Appartements avec balcon au coeur des Chartrons

Hotel Description

Look, I’ve stayed in a lot of apartments in Bordeaux, and honestly? These ones on Rue Borie hit that sweet spot where you feel like you’re actually living in the city, not just visiting it. The Chartrons neighborhood is having this incredible moment right now – it’s where all the locals are moving because, well, it’s got that authentic Bordeaux vibe without the tourist crowds that swamp the city center.

The balconies are what sold me initially, and they deliver. I mean, you’re not overlooking the Garonne (that would cost twice as much), but you get these lovely street views where you can watch the neighborhood wake up with your morning coffee. The apartments themselves feel genuinely lived-in rather than sterile – there’s actual character here, with those high ceilings and shutters that actually work properly. What I really appreciated was how quiet it gets at night, even though you’re literally in the heart of everything. The soundproofing is surprisingly good, which is something you can’t always count on with these converted buildings.

You know what makes this place special though? The location is just… chef’s kiss. You’re a five-minute walk from Cours Portal, where there’s this fantastic Sunday market that most tourists never find. The wine bars along Rue Notre-Dame are right there – and I’m talking about the places where winemakers actually drink, not the touristy spots. Plus, you can easily walk to the CAPC museum or catch the tram into central Bordeaux when you need that fix of grand architecture and proper shopping. Parking can be a bit tricky (it’s street parking, so arrive early in the evening), but honestly, once you’re settled, you won’t want to drive anywhere anyway. The whole area is incredibly walkable, and there’s something really satisfying about grabbing fresh bread from the boulangerie on the corner and feeling like, for a few days at least, you’re part of this neighborhood’s daily rhythm. The 8.8 rating makes total sense – it’s not luxury, but it’s exactly what a good city apartment should be: comfortable, authentic, and perfectly positioned to help you discover why Bordeaux locals are so smug about their city.
