This is a beautiful house with several comfortable bedrooms and plenty of cozy spots to hang out. Brigitte personally took us through the house at check-in, though she speaks little English and we didn’t catch all her French. There are a lot of dishes and cookware in different places and 2 kitchen areas, so we were constantly looking for things, but the effect is charming in a funny way. (The clutter includes baskets and shelves filled with magazines dating back to 2004-05..)
There’ an excellent boulangerie/patisserie about 2 blocks away. Market Day in Libourne was fabulous, and we cooked several meals at home using the delectable produce and fresh chicken and fish we purchased. Libourne has plenty to do and convenient to Bordeaux and St.-Emilion. This isn’t a touristy city, it’s a real, down-to-earth French, small city that enjoys its outdoor public spaces.
One suggestion: we wish there was a guidebook here, listing recommended boulangeries, restaurants, things to do and see, market days etc. for Libourne and surroundings, as well as instructions for using the home’s appliances.
