The house

Les Séraphines, a guest house in the heart of Bordeaux

Welcome to my home. On a typical, very quiet street in the city centre, I open my doors all year round for a stay built around comfort, calm and good company.

Behind the understated façade of this fine old townhouse, I wanted to keep the soul of the place: original wooden floors, a handsome Bordeaux staircase, high ceilings. I have added every modern comfort so that you feel at home, whether you are here for a weekend, on a business trip or for a break as a couple.

How Les Séraphines began

My name is Guillaume. After nearly twenty years in industry, including several years in Spain, Brazil and then the United States selling French wine, I chose to make hospitality my profession.

Coming back to Bordeaux felt only natural: my ancestor Victor Rich was the architect of the Monument aux Girondins. Together with Pauline and our twins Raphaël and Lucas, we dreamed up a warm, environmentally conscious place where every guest feels at home.
