In brief
Twelve people to put up together in Bordeaux is not a room booking, it is a house. Les Séraphines can be hired exclusively by booking all five rooms, for up to 15 people, with the living room, fitted kitchen and big table included. Give me your dates and who is in the group, and I will reply with a quote.
A big table and a living room for a group of 12 in Bordeaux
A group house in central Bordeaux is judged by its shared spaces. Here the living room is wide and bright, with herringbone parquet, a fireplace, a sofa and two wooden tables that you push together to make one long dining table. The fitted kitchen opens onto the room, so you can cook, set the dishes down and stay together.
In the morning, this is where the homemade breakfast is served, with fresh, local produce, and homemade granola and pastries. For evening meals there is no restaurant and no table d’hôte: a delivered meal or a private chef comes to your kitchen, which saves you booking a table for twelve.
Sharing 12 people out across the bedrooms
Every room has its own private bathroom, individual air conditioning and memory-foam bedding. We decide the split together, according to who is travelling with whom: couples, friends, families. The house sleeps up to 15 people, and baby cots can be arranged on request.

A budget guide: La Grande starts at €140 a night for two people, breakfast included. I do not publish a fixed price for the whole house, as it depends on the dates and the group. La Mansardée is not recommended for guests taller than 1.85 m (6 ft 1 in), which is worth bearing in mind when sharing out the rooms.
A house for 12 people in Bordeaux, between Mériadeck and Gambetta
Rue Séraphin is a typical, very quiet street in the centre, on the Saint-Bruno and Hôtel de Région side, close to Mériadeck and the Regional Council. Place Gambetta is a 7-minute walk away and the Miroir d’eau 25 minutes on foot.
My groups come from central Bordeaux (Saint-Bruno, Mériadeck, Saint-Seurin, la Chartreuse) as well as the wider metropolitan area: Mérignac and its airport, Le Bouscat, Talence, Pessac and Bègles. When part of the family lives nearby and the rest arrive from far away, it is often the solution that gets everyone under one roof.
Hiring the house for 12: arrivals, cars and transport
What is the difference between renting the whole house and booking a few rooms?
Book all five rooms and the house becomes yours: nobody else stays, and you have the living room, the fitted kitchen and the big table to yourselves. If you only take a few rooms, you share the house with other travellers and those shared spaces are no longer reserved for your group.
Can everyone arrive at their own time?
Yes. Check-in is possible from 3 pm and check-out is by 11 am, and the secure entry system lets you come and go on your own. Luggage storage is free on both arrival and departure days, so anyone who turns up early can drop their bags before 3 pm and go for a wander around the centre.
Where can a group of 12 park its cars?
I do not have a private car park: people park in the neighbouring streets, and I will tell you before you come what is easiest (to be confirmed according to your dates). For cyclists in the group, a private garage is a few steps away, as part of the Accueil Vélo label.
How do we get to the house from the station or the airport?
I do not have an airport shuttle, but tram F links the house to Saint-Jean station in 20 to 25 minutes and to the airport in 25 to 30 minutes. The Saint-Bruno Hôtel de Région stop, on lines A and F, is a 3-minute walk away, so a group can arrive without a car.
Got a date in mind for the house?
