Homemade breakfast
in a Bordeaux guest house
At the house, everything is fresh and local: homemade granola, seasonal fruit salad, fresh bread and pastries from Maison Lamour (best bakery in France 2017), cheeses and butter, jams and honey, freshly squeezed orange juice or grape juice and a good hot drink (coffee, cappuccino, latte, teas). In the morning, you ease into your day in the living room, where breakfast is looked after for you.
A homemade breakfast, served in the living room
I prepare breakfast myself, with fresh, local produce. The granola is baked at home, the seasonal fruit salad is cut that very morning, and the pastries and fresh bread come from the Maison Lamour bakery.
On the table you will also find cheeses from the Chartrons market and Charente butter, jams and honey made in Mérignac, creamy fromage blanc from the Limousin, and organic, fair-trade coffee or tea from Litha Espresso. It is all enjoyed in the big living room, at your own pace.
Served from 8 to 10am on weekdays, 8:30 to 10:30am at weekends
Breakfast is included in the price of the room for guests staying at the house. If you need an early start, tell me and we will sort something out: nobody leaves Les Séraphines on an empty stomach.
Arriving very early one morning and fancy breakfast at the house when you drop your bags before check-in? That works. One or two friends not staying with us but you would like to share breakfast with them? With pleasure. Just let me know; it is €15 per person.
A really good coffee, and options for every diet
-
Hot drinks
The coffees and teas come from Litha Espresso, a roaster whose Finca Puebla coffee I particularly like. I can make you any kind of drink: cappuccino, latte, flat white, red eye and hot chocolate. Every drink can be made with organic oat or almond milk.
-
Special diets
Gluten-free bread from the BAG bakery, vegan and lactose-free options: let me know when you book so everything is ready.

Morning tips
While you have breakfast, or afterwards, I can help you plan your day: a last-minute restaurant booking, a route that spares you any mental load, an idea for an outing or an exhibition, a bike ride. With all due modesty, the head concierges of the grand palace hotels had better watch out.
A big living room under high ceilings
Breakfast is served in the living room of the house, an old Bordeaux townhouse renovated in 2022. The floor is herringbone parquet, large windows let the light pour in, and the tables let couples, families and groups of friends settle in without feeling squeezed.
A lounge corner with a sofa and a fireplace is right next door: you can linger over a second coffee, plan your day or simply read. Coffee and tea stay available in the lounge all day.
