Hotel review - Hotel Etap (Ibis Budget) Merignac, France

The room was bright and clean, and the breakfast was basic, like in all the Etap hotels.

The Hotel is within walking distance of the Bordeaux airport, so it would be the ideal place to sleep for an early next morning flight.

Free internet and free parking.

Eating out - Restaurant "Le Vieux Chaudron", Bordeaux, France

Looking for a traditional restaurant, we found this one.


The food was good and the restaurant was soon full. Decent prices.

We remained with a pleasant image of the city even on a rainy day - imagine how nice it must be on a sunny summer day.
