Our house is 140 m2 on two floors. It is a typical 1930' city house with wooden floors: 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a large living room, a well equiped kitchen.
In summer we appreciate our swimming pool in the quiet garden.
Our home is 20 minutes walking distance from the city center and from the train station with easy trains do Bordeaux. In old town you can find many shops, food markets, good restaurants.
Our house is situated in a quiet street but it is only 200 metres from a supermarket, a bakery and a pharmacy.
