We are Christine and Benoît (47 years old) with two children, Eloïse (16), Victor (12) and Max our two years old Dalmatian. We live in Bordeaux- Bègles (Bordeaux Metropolis). We love travelling, we enjoy cooking, we like wine and are rugby fans. Our house is an Arcachonnaise (typical local house, built in 1930) with the comfort of a modern house (semi-detached house) : 3 double bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large kitchen, a dining room, a sitting room and a study/playroom upstairs with a large garden. We are 10 mn away from the city centre of Bordeaux with the Tram (or the bus) ; local shops around (bakery, pharmacy, newsagent...) ; 10 mn away from the biggest Bordeaux Mall (Rives d'Arcins). An ideal place to visit Bordeaux (UNESCO World Heritage), vinyards (30 mn away from Pessac-Léognan St Emilion, Médoc, Sauternes), Arcachon Bassin (nice beaches, Pyla Dune and the Atlantic Ocean), the Dordogne Valley with medieval castles and the Basque Country. Spain is 2 hours away from home.
