Why go to Bordeaux?
Bordeaux has something to appeal to all tastes. A cosmopolitan blend of French and Spanish influences pervades the region, while the area is a particular favourite with watersports enthusiasts.
|
Babygoes2 recommends properties which are suitable for babies or toddlers for a variety of reasons (go to first stop). None of these properties however is 100% child-safe. All of the property descriptions are the opinion of BabyGoes2 and not the individual property owner or tour operator. Prices, while as accurate as possible, are for guidance only. Check late deals and members offers for any price reductions or offers.

|
From 10,000 Euros per week including breakfast. This is a thoroughly luxury holiday experience at a very reasonable price when divided by 16 adults (just around 500GBP each of 16). Flight prices vary enormously from the low cost operators or BA - check for details www.ba.com or www.ryanair.com. Take your own car - discounted crossings available once booking is confirmed. Or you could take the passenger train from Waterloo or Ashford to Libourne |
| We think: |
|
This is an amazing place – real style and luxury and yet genuinely child friendly, with excellent childcare and all round service. Hard to think of a better luxury family friendly self catering (or catered!)option |
