Bordeaux , France

Do you mean Bordeaux? There is no Boudreaux in France.

Cute safe neighborhoods are not immediately adjacent to the train station. Are you looking for a hotel or an apartment?

Yes, Wrong spelling!

Look near St. Andre Cathedral and Hotel de Ville (City Hall).

Bordeaux has a great city tram system and the St. Andre/Hotel de Ville area is right by the old city and at one of the tram crossroads. It will be a 25 minute tram ride to the train station, Bordeaux St. Jean.

Restaurants, the old city, shopping and the Musee d’Acquitaine are all near St. Andre. The two wine museums (Cite du Vin and Musee du Vin et Negoce) will be a bit farther, as is the Market and Public Garden, but all those are readily accessible from the St. Andre area by tram.

RS’ Bordeaux myopia persists. He totally misses/disses Bordeaux (the city). Lonely Planet has a pretty good Bordeaux pocket guide.

To the OP

If you edit your subject line with the correct spelling it will help others in the future who may be searching for info on Bordeaux

It's been a few years but we've stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn Bordeaux centre. It's about a 5 minute drive or a 15 minute walk to Gare Saint Jean. There is the Halle Boca right next door which is a food hall with a variety of cusines.

See the Bassin des Lumieres...an artistic installation of lights in the old submarine pens. My kids and grandkids loved it!

You may want to look at Hotel Konti. I have not stayed there yet, but have reservations for November. It's right in the heart of things and a 25 min tram ride from the train station. I thought the rates were very reasonable, and it gets good reviews here on the forum and on booking.com.

We stayed 3 nights Hotel Particular. Close to St. Jean train station. Easy access to city center by tram. We enjoyed it. There’s a wonderful boulangerie near by too.
