## The neighborhood Bacalan is an up-and-coming area, with happening bars, clubs, rock music venues and hip burger joints in the boats and former warehouses along graffiti-lined Quai Armand Lalande. Overlooking the Garonne River, the contemporary Cité du Vin museum offers upscale dining and wine-related exhibits and events. The bunker-like WWII-era Submarine Base complex hosts art shows and eclectic concerts. There are 3 museums worth the visit (Cité du vin, Musée mer marine, Bassins des lumières). Gourmet hall with food shops (butcher's shop, cheese shop, bakery, pizza to go, tapas...). Carrefour at the end of the street. Our favorite restaurants in the area (Gina, Café maritime, Le 7 de la cité du vin, le familiar). ## Getting around The property is easily accessible by public transport and car. The nearest train station, "Rue Achard" (tram B), is just a 1-minute walk. Bordeaux airport is a 30-minute drive from the property.
