Maison Fredon

Bordeaux


In an enchanting 19th-century townhouse of golden stone, this stylish B&B is the accommodation arm of the La Tupina empire – which translates as five bourgeois doubles mixing contemporary furnishings with centuries-old white painted beams, and one of the most delicious breakfasts in town. Some fantastic art pieces decorate the salon where guests can mingle.
