Cyclist-friendly guest house
in central Bordeaux
A private garage steps away, tools for small repairs and route advice: a stopover designed for those who travel by bike.
A Bordeaux stopover for cyclists
Whether you are breaking a long ride or exploring Bordeaux by bike, the house sits close to the major routes: the Scandibérique, the Canal des Deux Mers and the Vélodyssée, which runs on to the coast.
Les Séraphines holds the Accueil Vélo label from France Vélo Tourisme. To plan your stop, see also my tips for visiting Bordeaux and the guest house rooms.
Your bike safe and sound, with what you need to fix it
-
A private garage
A large private garage, just steps from the house, keeps your bikes safe during your stay.
-
A little workshop
A floor pump, a workshop stand, a puncture repair kit and basic tools are at your disposal.
-
Bike repairers
Several professional workshops are nearby, and I will point you to the one that suits you.
A proper room to recover in
After a day in the saddle, a little comfort goes a long way. Each of the five rooms has its own private shower room, a memory foam mattress, individual air conditioning and electric blackout shutters, so the morning light does not wake you.
In the lounge, coffee and tea are available any time, and a small self-service bar is there for the end of the day: you note what you take and settle up when you leave. If your kit needs a spin in the machine, washing, drying and folding cost €15 (small bag) or €20 (large bag).
Late arrival, early start: the house adapts
-
Arrive from 3pm, or later
You can check in on your own with a secure entry system: a QR code is sent to you the day before. If the stage runs longer than planned, there is no need to rush.
-
Before and after your room
Luggage storage is free on both the day of arrival and the day of departure. You can drop your panniers before sightseeing, or leave them after you have left your room (before 11am).
-
Set off early, fuelled up
Homemade breakfast is served from 8am on weekdays (8:30am at weekends). If you have a long stage ahead, tell me and we will find a way to get you off earlier.
Bordeaux without a car, from the garage to the tram
The house is right in the centre, on a very quiet street, a 3-minute walk from tram lines A and F (Saint-Bruno Hôtel de Région stop). You leave the bike in the garage and reach the centre on foot or by tram, with no car parking to find.
I am also happy to help you plan the next leg of your route: tell me where you are coming from and where you are heading, and I will share what I know of the roads around Bordeaux.
Can I arrive late after a day of cycling?

Are the rooms comfortable after a long stage?

Can I have my clothes washed?
Yes: washing, drying and folding cost €15 (small bag) or €20 (large bag).
Can I leave my luggage before check-in?
Yes, luggage storage is free on the day of arrival and the day of departure.
