Imagined to meet the need for calm, the desire for conviviality and the love of beautiful things, the ground floor of the Boutique Hotel is composed of several judiciously arranged rooms. Guests come to relax in a cosy, cool space in summer or near one of the fireplaces in winter in our glass roof. Small jewels in the heart of Bordeaux, the discreet garden and the terrace of the Boutique Hotel are real havens of peace.
Located in a handsome, 19th-century townhouse in the heart of the city, the recently opened twelve-room hotel is furnished with high-end contemporary furniture from makers such as Edra and features amenities rarely found in hotels of this size in France, including 24-hour room service and air-conditioning.
The Palais Gallien is today the only visible remains of the Roman city of Burdigala. Built in the early 2nd century AD, its original dimensions are impressive, 130 meters long and 114 meters wide. The amphitheatre was located on the outskirts of the ancient city. Games - often cruel - were held here before large crowds. 20-25 000 people could be seated on terraced rows of wooden benches!
The Palais Gallien amphitheatre is listed as a Historical Monument. A few arcades and seating rows are still standing, and can be seen from rues du Palais Gallien, Albert Barraud, and Emile Fourcand.
The Hôtel de Normandie is located in the heart of the 18th-century centre of Bordeaux, listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
The Garonne riverfront, the Grand Théâtre opera house and the city’s other main monuments are only a short walk away.
The CIVB (Bordeaux Wine Trade Council), situated opposite the hotel, will allow you to discover the Bordeaux wine country.
The windows of the Hôtel de Normandie offer a view of Bordeaux’s famous Esplanade des Quinconces, a short distance from the Grand Théâtre and the Place Tourny square.
From the Pont de Pierre to the Jacques Chaban Delmas Bridge, from the oldest crossing of the Garonne to the most recent, this loop will take you on a journey through time, from the historic facades of the 18th century to the most modern developments of the city, such as the Cité du Vin. The whole area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a guarantee of a magnificent walk in the heart of the historic centre of the city.
The Balades à Roulettes® (BR®) are short, quiet walks, with a pushchair or a small bicycle, or adapted for people with reduced mobility (in a wheelchair), proposed by the French Federation of Rambling of the Gironde.
